"Going in Style" is the 1979 film about Joe (George Burns), Al (Art Carney) and Willie (Lee Strasberg), three senior citizens who share a small apartment in New York City. They live off Social Security checks and spend their days sitting on a park bench, reading newspapers, feeding pigeons and fending off obnoxious children. It's a dull life, and finally Joe is driven to suggest something radical to break the monotony: Why not go on a stickup? None of them has a criminal history, but just planning the bank robbery puts a new spring in their step.
