Bruce Willis, Danny Aiello, Andie MacDowell and Sandra Bernhard star in the funniest action/adventure/comedy ever! Willis is Eddie “the Hawk” Hawkins, the world’s most famous cat burglar, who, after 10 years in prison, is ready to go straight. But it’s not going to easy for the Hawk. The mob and the C.I.A. have conspired to blackmail Eddie and his partner (Aiello) into stealing three da Vinci masterpieces from the most heavily-guarded museums in the world. Sounds simple, right? WRONG! While trying to steal the goods, Hawk falls in love with a beautiful but schizophrenic nun (MacDowell) and is relentlessly pursued by the greedy and powerful Minerva (Bernhard) and Darwin Mayflower (Richard E. Grant), who want the masterpieces as part of their twisted plot to ruin the world’s economy. It’s wall-to-wall action as the wise-cracking Hawk attempts to save the world, win the girl and have the last laugh

REVIEWS:

• “...an "Indiana Jones" send-up with a hip undertone all its own.” – Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
• “a multi-million dollar cult movie” – Joe Berry, Empire
• “Lehmann has found his perfect star in Willis; they were both born with a smirking hint of mischief in their eyes. And what they and their screenwriters -- Steven E. de Souza and Daniel Waters -- have created here is a precision universe of wiseacre high jinks. It's an action picture packed dense with the wit of a screwball comedy. And while that may not be a first, it's so bizarrely inventive that being first seems not nearly as important as being best.” – Hal Hinson, The Washington Post
