Synopsis
You've probably already guessed that the Family Business in this all-star melodrama is the business of crime. Adapted from a novel by Vincent Patrick, the film stars
Sean Connery
as Jessie McMullen, the patriarch of a family of career criminals, including his son Vito (
Dustin Hoffman
) and grandson Adam (
Matthew Broderick
). Vito has gone legit, but college-educated Adam remains loyal to his grandfather. Reluctantly, Vito joins his father and son on a big-time heist involving millions of dollars' worth of test-tube specimens. There's many a slip-up and betrayal before the three generations can find a common ground. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
