This breathlessly paced high-tech thriller stars
Sean Connery as Anderson, a career criminal who's just been released from his latest prison term. Seeking a quick financial turnover, Anderson uses mob funding to finance an ambitious robbery. With a gang of expert thieves, Anderson sets about to rob every wealthy tenant of a fancy East Side apartment building. What he doesn't know is that every move he makes is being monitored and taped by several law-enforcement agencies, who hope that Anderson will lead them to the Mob kingpins. Though the film may look like a "comment" on the Watergate break-in,
The Anderson Tapes actually preceded that third-rate burglary by nearly two years.
The Anderson Tapes boasts an impressive supporting cast, many of whom play wildly against type, including
Alan King as an aging and infirm Mafia don.
