The Hot Rock film review focuses on its cast
The Hot Rock stars Robert Redford George Segal and Zero Mostel in a light caper about four thieves chasing a diamond. The plot has a jailbreak and a prison break as they race to recover the gem while delivering comic misadventures. Segal and Redford do creditable work though the roles are modest. The film remains an easy watching entertainment despite limited stakes.
