Sean Connery played Dustin Hoffman's father in the film "Family Business". There was situation here where Sean Connery (Jessie McMullen), Dustin Hoffman ( Vito McMullen), and Matthew Broderick (Adam McMullen) played three generations of a family.

"Family Business", a 1989 American comedy-drama heist, was directed by Sidney Lumet with the screenplay coming from Vincent Patrick. It was based on his 1985 novel, 'Family Business'.

Key events concerning the McMullen family centered on the family elder (Connery) who played a two-bit, often unsuccessful thief. He's a hell raising brawler, a Scottish immigrant who married a Sicilian woman, giving birth to a son (Hoffman), who gave rise to the grandson (Broderick). They were characters who are flawed but likable.

Vito was often ill at ease with his father's occupation and separated himself as much as possible by going straight as a young adult. He started a successful wholesale meat business. Vito and his father grow very apart; he often had little tolerance for his father. Jessie often caused trouble for others. Adam was a Westinghouse Scholar who hates school and admires the earthy, devil may care life-style of his grandfather. He's tired of his father's pressure to become successful. Their relations were rocky. Adam started spending time with Jessie; he approached his grandfather with an idea for a bio-tech, low-risk heist with a very big pay-off. The heist caused major problems.
