Synopsis
Stir Crazy (1980) is a crime comedy directed by Sidney Poitier, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Two down-on-their-luck New Yorkers, Skip and Harry, flee the city looking for work and walk straight into the most ridiculous mess of their lives.
Hired to dance around in woodpecker costumes promoting a bank, the pair end up in the wrong place at the wrong time: someone steals those costumes and robs the bank in them. Witnesses cheerfully finger the "woodpeckers," and instead of a paycheck the friends draw 125 years each for a crime they never committed. Behind bars, they realize their only way out runs through a prison rodeo — with Skip somehow expected to stay on a furious bull.
Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor headline, reuniting after Silver Streak, and their comic chemistry is the whole engine here. Craig T. Nelson and a young Jonathan Banks turn up in support. It became one of 1980's biggest box-office hits and a benchmark for the buddy-comedy duo. Stream Stir Crazy (1980) online on iFILM.
