Dustin Hoffman

Two-time Academy Award winner Dustin Hoffman (1988-Rainman-Best Actor, 1979-Kramer vs Kramer-Best Actor) and two-time Emmy Award winner Dennis Franz (NYPD Blue), deliver a tour-de-force performance as volatile small-time hustlers in this edgy, electrifying story of trust, betrayal and loyalty gone dangerously awry. For down-and-out junk dealer Don (Franz), life goes from unlucky to unbearable when he discovers the rare, buffalo head nickel he just sold for $90 is worth ten times as much. Refusing to let himself be out-swindled, Don enlists a young protege (Sean Nelson) in a scheme to steal the coin back. But their plans are suddenly altered by the intrusion of Teach (Hoffman), a disturbingly aggressive would-be thief who badgers Don into cutting him in on the heist - a decision that carries explosive consequences for everyone involved. Ignited by the high-tension energy of Hoffman and a superb ensemble cast, American Buffalo is a riveting study in human virtue and vulnerability from Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Mamet (The Untouchables, Hoffa).
