The Sting (1973).
Following the murder of a mutual friend, aspiring con man Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) teams up with old pro Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) to take revenge on the ruthless crime boss responsible, Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). Hooker and Gondorff set about implementing an elaborate scheme, one so crafty that Lonnegan won’t even know he’s been swindled. As their big con unfolds, however, things don’t go according to plan, requiring some last-minute improvisation by the undaunted duo.

Cinema club is a special monthly *members only* movie night. We put up the big screen and play whatever movie was chosen the month before. The range is wide, with classics and more modern both being shown. It’s a fun and social night.

Tickets are $10 for members and the first movie is FREE if you join or renew your membership (which you can do on the night if you like).
