About This Movie

Stir Crazy is a 1980 comedy and crime film directed by Sidney Poitier. Its leading cast includes Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor and Georg Stanford Brown. It runs for 1 hour 51 minutes.

Synopsis

New Yorkers Skip Donahue and Harry Monroe have no jobs and no prospects, so they decide to flee the city and find work elsewhere, landing jobs wearing woodpecker costumes to promote the opening of a bank. When their feathery costumes are stolen and used in a bank robbery, they no longer have to worry about employment — they're sent to prison.
