Cars seemingly plucked from the 1970s took over Second Street near Liberty Tower as part of a chase and the lobby and tower itself were used for scenes as well.

At one point on Monday, Redford and Glover were spotted filming the bank robbery movie on the roof of Talbott Tower, 118 W. First St.

Well, that all served for quite the photo opportunity for all of us fan girls and boys. 📸 Here are some of the best captured moments:
