SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Academy Award winner Tom Hanks stars as Goldthwait Higginson
Dorr III, Ph.D., a charlatan professor who’s assembled
a gang of “experts” for the heist of the century.
The thieves: experts in explosions, tunneling, and muscle,
and the critical “inside man.” The base
of operations: the root cellar of an unsuspecting, church-going
little old lady named Mrs. Munson (IRMA P. HALL).The ruse:
the five need a place to practice their church music.
The problem: it quickly becomes evident that Dorr’s
thieves lack the mental capacity to do the job. The
bigger problem: they have all seriously underestimated
their upstairs host.
When Mrs. Munson stumbles onto their plot and threatens to
notify the authorities, the felonious five decide to do her
in. After all, how hard can it be to knock off one old
lady?
