A favorite spy/caper movie** Excellent movie!
Martin (now played by Robert Redford) has created a tiger team of "security specialists". In addition to Bishop, the team is: Donald Crease (Sidney Poitier), a former CIA agent and a high-strung family man; "Mother" (Dan Aykroyd), a conspiracy theorist with unsurpassed technical skills and dexterity; Carl Arbogast (River Phoenix), a young genius; and Erwin 'Whistler' Emory (David Strathairn), a wisecracking blind man with superb hearing. They break a bank's security system and report the results to the managers who hired them. Martin is approached by Dick Gordon and Buddy Wallace (Timothy Busfield, Eddie Jones), who state they are from the National Security Agency and know of Martin's past. In exchange for not incarcerating Martin, they ask Martin to recover a "black box" decoder device that mathematician Gunter Janek (Donal Logue) has been developing for the Russian government under the guise of a company called "Setec Astronomy". Martin is forced to take the job and to reveal his past to his team to get their help. He also calls on his former girlfriend, Liz (Mary McDonnell), to help with social engineering for the job.
