USA Film Fest - The Maiden Heist

Peter Hewitt’s clever caper comedy presents three of the most endearing characters to ever commit grand larceny. Roger (Christopher Walken), Charles (Morgan Freeman) and George (William H. Macy) are museum security guards, each infatuated with a certain work of art at their place of employment – so much so that although they have been coworkers for decades, they only meet for the first time when crisis strikes. A new curator plans to change the museum’s collection entirely, threatening to rob each man of his great secret passion. They, however, decide to rob the museum first. The fact that they aren’t exactly criminal masterminds doesn’t dissuade them from embarking on a daring heist, with predictably hilarious results. Also starring the divine Marcia Gay Harden. 89 mins. Director Peter Hewitt and producer Rob Paris in attendance.
