Crackers

Directed by Louis Malle

With Donald Sutherland, Jack Warden, Sean Penn, Wallace Shawn and Larry Riley

Down-and-out Weslake is reduced to minding the counter at a San Francisco pawn shop when he stumbles onto a scheme by some of the boss's disgruntled misfit clients to rob the place. Rather than blow the whistle, however, he insinuates himself as the heist's mastermind.
