**The Spanish Prisoner** (1997), written and directed by David Mamet, is a cerebral con thriller starring Campbell Scott as Joe Ross, a corporate engineer who invents a lucrative process and becomes entangled in a complex web of deception. As he grows suspicious of a charming stranger (played by Steve Martin in an uncharacteristically serious role) and the intentions of his own colleagues, Joe struggles to determine whom he can trust. With Mamet’s signature stylized dialogue and a slow-burn plot full of misdirection, the film is a modern twist on classic confidence schemes and psychological suspense.
