George Roy Hill's Oscar-winning 1973 caper The Sting arrives on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, with the feature presented in native 4K with HDR10. Paul Newman and Robert Redford reunite as a pair of 1930s Chicago grifters who team up to pull an elaborate long con on a vicious New York mob boss (Robert Shaw), avenging the murder of a mutual friend. Scott Joplin's ragtime score, the period costume design and the film's celebrated chapter-card structure helped earn it seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
