Three Days of the Condor (35mm)

(Sydney Pollack, US 1975, 117 min., 35mm)

CIA researcher Joe Turner (Robert Redford) spends his days probing through magazines, advertisements, and books looking for hidden messages. One day he presents a book to his superiors, pointing out its history and peculiar story. A few days later he returns from his lunch break to find all six of his colleagues murdered. Before long he realizes he cannot trust the CIA, falling into a cat-and-mouse game with the CIA director and learning that he’s stumbled into something much bigger than he imagined. Shot on location in New York City and featuring a stellar cast, this fast-paced, unpredictable feature gave a much needed shot into the arm to the conspiracy-thriller genre.
