HOODWINK

Combining thrilling crime caper with unexpected romance, HOODWINK tells the extraordinary story of Martin Stang (John Hargreaves), a cunning bank robber and charming rogue who keeps one step ahead of the law by pulling off an amazing con - he pretends to be blind.

Though accorded special treatment in a minimum security establishment, Stang discovers he has hoaxed himself into trouble with the arrival of Sarah (Judy Davis in an AFI Award winning role), the local lay preacher's sexually repressed wife who can't help but respond to Martin's romantic attention. Instead of using the preacher and his inhibited wife to further his escape plans, Martin makes the mistake of confessing to Sarah that his blindness is a fraud - with unexpected consequences

Based on the true story of Carl Synnerdahl, one of Australia's most notorious bank robbers, HOODWINK is the story of how one man fooled the lawyers, the cops, the screws and the combined might of the prison system. Boasting a stellar supporting cast including Wendy Hughes, Colin Friels, Michael Caton, Max Cullen and Geoffrey Rush.
