This enjoyable, light-hearted thriller revolves around a team of experts who specialize in testing security systems for high powered companies. The team includes veteran CIA operative Donald Crease (Sydney Poitier), expert in sound Erwin Emory (David Strathairn), young expert hacker Carl Arbegast (River Phoenix), and a gadget master named Mother (Dan Aykroyd). The head of the group is Martin Bishop (Robert Redford), an aging computer hacker who has been hiding from the FBI after he pulled off a sophisticated computer-based heist in the 1960s. One day Bishop is blackmailed by the government agents into finding and retrieving a valuable black box, containing a code-breaking device, from the mathematical genius who invented it. Bishop's colleagues naively go on the top secret mission, but soon find themselves reluctantly embroiled in a dark web of deception and betrayal, intrigue and murder.
