Description:
Four would-be thieves attempt to steal the same diamond four times.
Amazon.com:
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid writer William Goldman and star Robert Redford re-teamed for this jaunty, lightly satiric caper comedy from 1972. Redford plays a master thief with his eye on a rare diamond. He assembles a gang of quirky fellow pros (fine character performances by Paul Sand and Ron Leibman, plus George Segal in one of his definitive, neurotic-exasperated roles from the '70s), only to find that stealing the gem is a very elusive and complicated goal. The film, set in Manhattan, was made right around the time that reports of New York City police corruption were reaching critical mass. Goldman's script and Peter Yates's direction take a broad swipe at law-enforcement culture, making it easy to be on the side of Redford's slick antihero. The Hot Rock works best as a series of set-pieces, memorable star turns (Zero Mostel is on board), and edgy exchanges between Segal and Redford. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - A Great, Little-Known Movie
For such a great movie, this one is suprisingly little-known. Remember when movies used to be really entertaining, without a whole lot of nakedness, violence, and foul language? Well, if you're looking for a great heist flick, a dose of humor, and a really good plot, without all the modern-day trash, this one is for you.
It's my husband's fave.
Rating:  - ...and then what???
THE HOT ROCK is an old and very funny movie about all the things that go wrong after a robbery. A good way to view is to watch THE ITALIAN JOB first, then THE HOT ROCK. Robert Redford shows wonderful comedic timing and good facial expressions.
Rating: - Highly enjoyable diamond heist thriller
The Hot Rock is an above average heist movie from the early 1970s that isn't that well known, but it is well worth checking out. John Dortmunder is fresh out of prison when his brother-in-law and partner in crime, Andrew Kelp, approaches him with an idea to steal an African diamond and earn $25,000 in the process. Dortmunder, an expert planner in these situations, and Kelp bring together two other men, because their boss will only pay for four, to pull off the robbery of the diamond in a New ... Read More
Rating: - Deserves 10 stars
I watched The Hot Rock over the weekend and enjoyed it so much that I'm ordering it to put in my collection. The Hot Rock is one of those movies you can enjoy over and over again. Edgy dialog, a wonderful plot and above average photography make The Hot Rock a winner. As another reviewer points out that the humor is memorable and without any sex, adult situations, off color, bathroom humor. I honestly can't remember a vulgar word being spoke.
