Criminal 70s drama about the musicians involved in the theft and trafficking of stolen arts and antiques. Using their touring life as a cover, they evade police for years. Their suspected leader is a well-known celebrity singer. To catch the thieves, the police form an under-cover band led by a brave young officer, a former professional guitarist. By a lucky coincidence, the under-cover musicians become the supporting band for the main suspect, the singer. They need to find the evidence of his involvement in a life of crime, but money, fame, and other temptations get in the way. Will they stay loyal to the police or will they choose the seductive celebrity lifestyle built on breaking the law?

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
