# The Old Man & the Gun (2018)

2018 · PG-13 · 93 min · Drama, History · United States


## Synopsis

The Old Man & the Gun is a 2018 American biographical crime film written and directed by David Lowery, about Forrest Tucker, a career criminal and prison escape artist. The script is loosely based on David Grann's 2003 article in The New Yorker titled "The Old Man and the Gun", which was later collected in Grann's 2010 book The Devil and Sherlock Holmes. The film stars Robert Redford, Casey Affleck, Danny Glover, Tika Sumpter, Tom Waits and Sissy Spacek. Redford, then 82 years old, announced his intention to retire from acting after completion of the film. Redford's brief appearance in Avengers: Endgame (2019) was filmed before he made The Old Man & the Gun. It was his final filmed movie role before his death in 2025.
