Opening Night Tribute to the late, great James Caan! 

In this shot-in-Chicago neo-noir classic, James Caan plays an ex-con safecracker still hoping to score the American Dream. One final job for the mob will be his ticket to a peaceful life with a wife and kids. Things don’t go quite as figured. Caan’s favorite role—along with The Godfather’s Sonny Corleone—was the breakout film for writer-director Michael Mann, whose kinetic montages, driven by a propulsive Tangerine Dream score, were a huge influence on Eighties filmmakers. Featuring tremendous supporting performances from Tuesday Weld, Willie Nelson, Jim Belushi, Robert Prosky, and Dennis Farina.
