Robert Redford, George Segal and Zero Mostel head a crack cast in this hilarious comedy about jewel thieves out to score the biggest heist of their lives. When John Dortmunder (Redford) learns that a huge, rare diamond is just waiting to be lifted in Manhattan, he assembles a team of pros to try and steal the stone. But all that glitters is not easily gotten, and, despite their careful planning and execution, actually stealing the gem proves a challenge far greater than any of the men bargained for.

Robert Redford and George Segal star in this crime comedy drama adapted from Donald Westlake's novel about a heist that goes wrong. To reclaim a valuable diamond from a Brooklyn museum that was originally stolen from his country, African Dr. Amusa (Moses Gunn) enlists the help of a gang of thiefs - Dortmunder (Redford), Andy (Segal), Stan (Ron Leibman) and Allan (Paul Sand). The plan does not go accordingly for the foursome, however, and they find that the gem seems to be continually just beyond their grasp.
When four misfits get together to try to steal a huge, priceless diamond, it's a formula for an entertaining film. Although Robert Redford is a little out of his element, it is still a fun mix with Redford, George Segal, Ron Leibman, Paul Sand and Zero Mostel. Making no apologies for the criminal act itself, the movie just concentrates on the characters and the fun of the movie.
