...all it takes is a little confidence.

Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) wants revenge on Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw), the mob boss who killed his partner. He finds Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman), a retired grifter with a gift for elaborate deception, and together they plot an intricate con to take Lonnegan for everything he has. If they pull it off, they'll have their money and their man; if they don't, Lonnegan will have them killed.
