Reformed cat burglar, Bruce Willis (aka Hudson Hawk), just recently released from prison on parole, simply wants to celebrate his newfound freedom with a cappuccino. No such luck - the criminal underworld has other plans for him that don't involve his retirement. Before the froth has chance to cool, Bruce is blackmailed into applying his unique, highly sought-after skills to execute various heists for a criminal mastermind partnership known as Mayflower Industries who intend to exploit a machine supposedly created by Leonardo da Vinci, capable of transforming lead into gold.
Whilst at the time widely considered a complete disaster in artistic and financial terms, Hudson Hawk did spawn a reasonably solid video game. Developed by Special FX Software on behalf of Ocean, published in 1991 in conjunction with the movie, the action-platformer appeared on multiple popular computer and console systems. It shares little in common with the awful, uneventful movie and perhaps that's why it's still worth a look.
