The Anderson Tapes [Full Movie]

Safe-cracker John "Duke" Anderson (Sean Connery) is released after ten years in prison. He immediately renews his relationship with his old girlfriend, Ingrid Everleigh (Dyan Cannon). While Anderson was away in prison, Ingrid has been "kept" by a wealthy man named Werner (Richard Shull), who put her up in an upper-class apartment block in Manhattan. Anderson determines rapidly to burgle the entire building in a single sweep – filling a furniture van with the proceeds. He gains financing from a nostalgic Mafia boss, Pat Angelo (Alan King), and gathers his four-man crew. Included in this crime team is an ancient ex-con drunk, "Pop" (Stan Gottlieb), who was released from prison the same day as Anderson (and "The Kid" played by Christopher Walken).

Unwittingly, Anderson is under pervasive surveillance almost the entire operation, from the earliest planning to the execution. This includes a private detective hired by Werner to eavesdrop on his mistress Ingrid; the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, checking on a released drug dealer; the FBI, investigating Black activists and the interstate smuggling of antiques; and the IRS, which is after the mob boss who is financing the operation. The various surveilling Federal, state, and municipal agencies all have different missions (and targets), so none is able to "connect the dots" and anticipate the robbery.
