Eager for revenge, Johnny takes a tip from his dying partner and seeks out mutual friend Gondorff, a consummate master of the long con. Gondorff rouses himself from alcoholic inertia and agrees to help Johnny take down the despicable Lonnegan, conscripting an army of grifters ready to avenge their friend's death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe labyrinthine plot—stuffed with false leads, red herrings, and a double-cross-a-minute—involves a fake bookie joint, a very persistent FBI agent, a bunch of corrupt cops, and one shifty dame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtremely entertaining, the Oscar-winning film transcends the genre through the superb acting of the three leads, the keen attention to the re-creation of period detail, and a fiendishly intricate script that cons audiences completely. The wonderful score, which became immensely popular, featured Marvin Hamlisch's orchestral transcriptions of Scott Joplin's piano rags. The film led to a revival of interest in Joplin. It is one of the most entertaining movies of the 1970s and rewards repeat viewings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51042779889942,"sku":"44151","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New, Sealed In Box","offer_id":51042779922710,"sku":"122137","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2025923105256302scan.jpg?v=1771400187","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/the-sting-special-2-disc-set","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
