Sneakers (1992)

This week, the dads hack into Sneakers, the 1992 techno-thriller where an all-star crew of professional misfits breaks into places they probably shouldn’t, and uncovers secrets they definitely shouldn’t. Robert Redford leads a team that includes Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, and David Strathairn in a twisty, witty caper that makes cryptography look like a full-contact sport.


Steve and Nic break down the movie’s unique ‘90s charm: the laid-back heist vibe, paranoia about Big Brother, and the sheer delight of watching middle-aged men solve puzzles with dial-up modems and dry one-liners. There’s love for the cast’s chemistry, a comparison of the crew to the A-Team, and just enough talk about obsolete tech to make you miss floppy disks.


Is Sneakers the best hacking movie that isn’t really about hacking? Or just the coolest anti-corporate comedy you forgot existed? Either way, the dads crack the code on why it still works three decades later.
