About

You can watch Once a Thief (1991) for free on Kanopy.

Three orphans grow up to become art thieves under the tutelage of a crime boss. Romance complicates matters when the trio are double-crossed.

Growing up as a professional art thief offers little comfort when long-standing brotherhood begins to fracture under the weight of betrayal. This kinetic heist caper balances stylish bravado with a sudden, sharp sting of romantic complication.
