With a career spanning over 60 years, Robert Redford remains the ideal American actor: always effortlessly charming, but also thoughtful, curious, and grounded.
January's films each focus on a different facet of Redford's persona -- the Romantic Lead, the Social Conscience, the Homegrown Hero, and the Ringleader.
February wraps up this series with two of the most beloved buddy films ever made: his collaborations with the equally iconic Paul Newman, with the pair playing outlaws and con men, while remaining deeply, disarmingly likeable.

January 13: Brubaker
When reform-minded Henry Brubaker (Robert Redford) arrives at his new job as warden for Arkansas' Wakefield Prison, he immediately sees that things will have to change -- but the horrific ways in which the prisoners are mistreated can be traced to the greed and callousness of those at the very top of the ladder.
Redford demonstrates a fierce moral conviction, confronting corruption and insisting that institutions can do better, even as the cost is increasingly personal. When the villain is the system itself, how do you keep fighting?
"Unsparing in its evocation of brutality, and unswerving in its commitment to Brubaker's radical, uncompromising ideals, the film at its best provokes a powerful sense of tension and outrage." —David Ansen, Newsweek
