Happy-go-lucky espionage caper about a motley team of security experts (aging Sixties activist, conspiracy theorist, black man, blind man, young man) who are hired -- blackmailed, actually -- by generic Bad Guys to steal a little "black box" that contains a master key to every computer code in the U.S.A. The height of the stakes does not cause the film to sober up for more than a few seconds at a time, though some pointed jabs are taken at Republicans, the CIA, the FBI, etc., to clear its conscience while it schemes to pick the public pocket. An American-accented Ben Kingsley sounds weirdly like Robin Williams. With Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, Mary McDonnell; directed by Phil Alden Robinson. (1992) — Duncan Shepherd
