Robert Redford returns to his outlaw roots in David Lowery‘s The Old Man and the Gun, playing a real-life septuagenarian criminal, and it’s said to be his final acting role.
The Old Man and the Gun, which also stars Danny Glover, Tika Sumpter and Tom Waits, hits theaters this fall on September 28.
Lowery’s new film, based on a New Yorker story by David Grann about Forrest Tucker, an outlaw who escaped San Quentin at age 70 to complete a handful of heists.
