THE UNTOUCHABLES

Packed with surprises, not the least being that it's a smashing work. It's vulgar, violent, funny and sometimes breathtakingly beautiful. -Vincent Canby, The New York Times

De Palma’s thrilling, historical crime epic shown in seventy larger than life millimeters!

Federal Agent Eliot Ness, played by a thin, wiry Kevin Costner, is on a mission to bust the most notorious gangster of our modern era, bootlegger Al Capone (Robert De Niro).

The year is 1930. The place is Chicago. The good intentions meant by the Volstead Act pave a dubious road to hell: one that includes competitive organized crime, secret saloons known as speakeasies, and corruption that goes from the State St. gutter trash to the very top.

This windy city pastel noir runs dark with a tincture of blood and booze, featuring an Oscar-winning performance by Sean Connery as Irish-American officer Jim Malone and a memorable homage in a striking end sequence to Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein’s BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN (1925).

Paired with custom Prohibition-era cocktails by our Beverage Director, Bill Norris, THE UNTOUCHABLES on 70mm is a must-see! (Sam Prime)
