The Ladykillers

Hanks stars as Goldthwait Higginson Dorr III, Ph.D., a charlatan professor who's assembled a gang of 'experts' for the heist of the century. The thieves: experts in explosions, tunneling, and muscle, and the critical 'inside man.' The base of operations: the root cellar of an unsuspecting, church-going little old lady named Mrs. Munson. The ruse: the five need a place to practice their church music. The problem: it quickly becomes evident that Dorr's thieves lack the mental capacity to do the job.
