The Old Man and the Gun
"The Old Man and the Gun" is a 2018 American biographical crime film written and directed by David Lowery. The film stars Robert Redford, Casey Affleck, Danny Glover, Tika Sumpter, Tom Waits and Sissy Spacek. Redford, then 82 years old, announced his intention to retire from acting after completion of the film. It was his final filmed movie role before his death in 2025.
Adapted from David Grann’s New Yorker article, "The Old Man and the Gun" tells the story of Forrest Tucker, the self-styled ‘Houdini’ whose many audacious prison breaks included an Alcatraz flight in a homemade kayak and whose last robbery was committed when he was 79. Focussing on Tucker’s crime-spree with his geriatric band of brothers, the Over-the-Hill-Gang, who long evaded both the FBI and an increasingly frustrated detective, this is a brilliantly entertaining crime caper.
The film had its world premiere in 2018, with Redford nominated for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy at the 76th Golden Globe Awards.
