Crackers is a 1984 American comedy-crime film directed by Louis Malle. It was entered into the 34th Berlin International Film Festival.[2]
Written by Jeffrey Fiskin, the film is about a group of small-time out-of-luck thieves, led by the unemployed Weslake (Donald Sutherland), who attempt to rob the neighborhood pawn shop owned by the greedy Garvey (Jack Warden). It is a remake of the Italian film Big Deal on Madonna Street (1958) directed by Mario Monicelli.[3]
