Pickpocket King

1977 · 85 min Comedy

The story revolves around a pickpocket and the organization led by Beniman. There are certain taboos, such as not pickpocketing transvestites and pregnant women. Many of their operations fail, either due to incompetence or because they break these taboos. Beniman himself starts dating Ida, whom he met after she was pickpocketed by one of his men. The stolen wallet is returned to her. The repeated failures prompt Beniman to hold a congress of pickpockets, where they decide to rob a bank. However, a police intelligence officer infiltrates the gang and provides them with guns without bullets, causing the operation to fail. Beniman is arrested, and the officer interrogating him is Hamid, Ida's father.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Pickpocket King is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1977. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
