Three Days of the Condor

Star Robert Redford and director Sydney Pollack had a long and successful collaboration, producing several hits in the 1970s; in Three Days of the Condor, they capture the political anxiety of the time with the Watergate break-ins making constant national headlines. Here, Redford plays Joe Turner, a junior analyst in the C.I.A., scrutinising published texts from around the world for coded messages, who comes back from lunch to find his world turned upside down. No longer sure of who he can trust, he goes in search of answers.

Screening as part of Out of Their Depth: Corruption, Scandal and Lies in the New Hollywood, presented by Cinema Rediscovered and Park Circus.
