THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR

John McTiernan

TTCA

An art collector sets out to steal a Monet from a New York museum. A game of seduction then begins when the female insurance investigator sets out in hot pursuit.

John McTiernan reinterprets Norman Jewison’s cult movie with a lesser-known cast, but with a skilfully crafted mise en scene. This 1990s version of The Thomas Crown Affair is today’s model for the heist film, with a few nods to the original.
