Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Hudson Hawk
Bruce Willis is Hudson Hawk, a notorious cat burglar who has just been released from prison. His parole officer immediately bribes him into stealing some priceless Leonardo DaVinci artwork. He reluctantly agrees and takes his old partner (Aiello) along. After being kidnapped and taken to Paris, Hawk is forced to steal more DaVinci materials which a sadistic couple (Grant and Bernhard) intend to use to make lead into gold. Hawk finds another partner in Anna (MacDowell), a nun on a mission to stop the thefts. This is a nonstop action comedy cowritten by Willis himself.
