Thomas Crown has run out of challenges. When an alarm sounds at a a world class museum and someone walks out with a priceless Monet, Crown is the last person the New York police suspect.

McTiernan's camerawork in particular, though, gives the film the style to pull off what could have been just another remake!

The Thomas Crown Affair is a refreshingly straightforward entertainment film, made with great style.
