Saturday, December 27, 2:45 p.m. & Tuesday, December 30, 6:00 p.m. | Robert Redford’s final starring screen role sees him starring in this historical biopic about career criminal and escape artist Forrest Tucker. Redford’s easygoing charm and weathered face are well-suited for his performance as the aging gentleman thief–both of whom seem out of step with modern life. Sissy Spacek co-stars as a farm widow who takes Tucker in, and Casey Affleck is the police detective pursuing him. Danny Glover and Tom Waits appear as two of Tucker’s accomplices.
