It Takes a Thief is an American action-adventure television series starring Robert Wagner as smooth-talking, high-society cat burglar Alexander Mundy. Paroled from San Francisco's San Quentin prison by the U.S. government agency SIA (Secret Intelligence Agency), Mundy is offered a deal: utilize his unique criminal skill set to steal secrets, break into impenetrable facilities, and thwart international espionage threats in exchange for his freedom. Operating under the supervision of SIA chief Noah Bain, Mundy travels the globe balancing his charm, wit, and acrobatic thievery with dangerous high-stakes missions. The series blends slick espionage with elements of lighthearted caper comedies and swinging-sixties style. As Mundy navigates sophisticated plots involving stolen artifacts, rogue agents, and international syndicates, his suave demeanor often wins over wealthy targets while his unorthodox methods consistently deliver results. Over its three-season run, the show became known for its stylish wardrobe, clever gadgets, and the crackling chemistry between Wagner and Malachi Throne.
