‘Sneakers’ Revisited

Bill Simmons, Kyle Brandt and Joanna Robinson turn up the heat on The Ringer’s Rewatchables Podcast with a fresh take on Robert Redford’s 1992 caper Sneakers. Joined by an all-star cast (Sidney Poitier, Mary McDonnell, Ben Kingsley, Dan Aykroyd and River Phoenix), they dive into the film’s razor-sharp wit, globe-trotting heist vibes and surprisingly on-point nods to modern hacking and surveillance culture.

Along the way they unpack why this cyber-thriller still feels urgent three decades later, how its rag-tag team foreshadowed today’s tech battlegrounds and what makes Redford’s lovable rogue such a timeless lead.
