Thief extraordinaire Hudson Hawk has just been released from prison and all he wants is a nice cappuccino. However, before he can savor his favorite beverage, the highly eccentric and wealthy Darwin Mayflower and his equally odd wife, Minerva, rope Hawk into an ambitious series of heists. Soon Hawk is stealing no less than major works by Leonardo da Vinci, priceless pieces that the Mayflowers plan to use in an exceedingly nefarious way.
Hudson Hawk

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hudson Hawk's kitchen-sink approach to its blend of action and slapstick results in a surreal, baffling misfire.

The attempt to create a wiseacre stunt spectacular is noble, but the failure is at the script level. Go to Full Review
Joe Kane New York Daily News Jun 16, 2026
Hawk doesn't get truly grotty until its second reel, following a few merely mediocre setup scenes establishing Bruce as a newly sprung cat burglar coerced by a local Mafioso into committing a da Vinci-related heist. Go to Full Review
Richard Schickel TIME Magazine May 28, 2026
Hudson Hawk is a high-budget movie full of low-budget eccentricity. Go to Full Review
Christopher Johnston Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) May 22, 2026
A uneven and often confused film that matches great stunts with bad jokes, explosive action sequences with irritating silliness. Go to Full Review
John Scalzi Fresno Bee May 22, 2026
It's quirky and amusing, and you warm to it because you don't expect much from it. Go to Full Review

Leia W Apr 11, 2019 A great cheezy comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. Over the top villains and implausible premise, but a lot of fun!
Harry G Dec 22, 2018 Love this movie, yes its very silly and over the top but then again its suppose to be.Willis and Aiello are great together, and its just a beautiful movie just to look at.The scenery and the sets are gorgeous. See more
Draco L Dec 11, 2018 This moview is one of my secret pleasures.
Leia R Oct 25, 2018 This movie doesn't take itself seriously. Neither should you!
Oct 5, 2018 It is a very funny comedy and little valued by the audience. However, a film of which we all have an opinion, we are people wanting to enjoy or a pseudo-critic with a false scense of greatness See more
Albus L Sep 2, 2018 I love this film, watched more times than I care to mention!
