Self-made property developer Thomas Crown (Steve McQueen)
masterminds a successful billion-dollar bank job, even though he
has no need of the money. Beautiful insurance investigator Vicky
Anderson (Faye Dunaway) begins to look into the case and
instinctively picks Crown out as the major suspect. Thus begins an
intriguing cat-and-mouse game, with Crown treating Anderson to a
fine old time - beach buggies, gliders, kinky chess games - as the
pair try to simultaneously seduce and outwit each other. Norman
Jewison directs.
