The Old Man and the Gun: When is Robert Redford's LAST movie out? Watch EXCLUSIVE clip

The Old Man & the Gun is said to be Robert Redford’s last ever role before he retires. The acting legend has been in the business since the 1960s and has appeared in everything from TV to film to stage plays. Redford has also turned his hand to directing, and at the age of 82, has taken his last role as the real-life Forrest Tucker. You can watch an exclusive clip of Redford in his final role here at Express.co.uk. 

The clip shows Redford driving, while the police radio can be heard and the sirens wailing.

Redford stops to offer assistance to a woman on the side of the road (played by Sissy Spacek) – that woman ends up falling in love with him.

There’s a beautiful irony as the cops speed right past the man they’re looking for, a criminal currently engaged in a moment of selfish altruism. 

She asks if he knows anything about cars as they stare into the hood of her Ford truck.

“Uh, no, not really,” Redford says, his trademark easy charm shining through.
