Peter Yates
directs the early '70s comedy caper The Hot Rock, based on the Donald Westlake novel and adapted for the screen by
William Goldman
.
Robert Redford
stars as John Archibald Dortmunder, a former jewel thief just released from prison. His brother-in-law, Andrew Kelp (
George Segal
), recruits him to steal a diamond from a museum. They are hired by Dr. Amusa (
Moses Gunn
), an ambassador from Central Fatawi, whose people consider the stone to be sacred. John and Andrew assemble a team with Alan Greenberg (
