In this classic conspiracy thriller, screen icon Robert Redford (Tell Them Willie Boy is Here, The Sting, All the President’s Men, Indecent Proposal) stars as CIA Agent Joe Turner. Code name: Condor. When his entire office is massacred, Turner goes on the run from his enemies…and his so-called allies. After reporting the murders to his superiors, the organization wants to bring Condor in—but somebody is trying to take him out. In his frantic hunt for answers, and in a desperate race for his life, Turner abducts photographer Kathy Hale (Faye Dunaway, The Thomas Crown Affair, Eyes of Laura Mars), eventually seducing her into helping him. Every twist leads Condor to the end of his nerves…and will take you to the edge of your seat. And as he zeroes in on the staggering truth, he discovers there are some secrets people would kill to keep. Masterfully directed by Sydney Pollack (Jeremiah Johnson, Tootsie, Out of Africa, Havana) and also starring Cliff Robertson (Charly), John Houseman (The Paper Chase) and the icy Max von Sydow (Needful Things), 3 Days of the Condor endures as one of Hollywood’s finest tales of political paranoia.

Good Redford spy film
Good cast, good director and good story. If this were made into a movie today the story would come off as fresh and entertaining. It is a really good movie that holds up to time and I include it in my Robert Redford spy trilogy with Spy Game and Sneakers. This one has Redford being a desk jockey that gets entangled as an Everyman into the Machiavellian machinations of the "higher ups" with real spies doing their best to remove him. Some will say that there wasn't enough explanation (at least laid out prior to it happening) of the Inciting Incident. This might be a deficiency for some but the story is really about Redford's character figuring out someone wants him dead (doesn't matter who originally did) and how to survive the onslaught of professionals out to make sure it happens. This movie was made previous to Jason Bourne, Taken, and Die Hard so yes, its pacing heats up at a different rate but it is effective and it is quicker paced than Frantic.

Perfect!
The film has already been reviewed in various places, so I will just say that it is a superb mystery with a disturbing mood, and that I love this film. I would like to say a few words about the rest of the review, especially from a "4K UHD" point of view. The restoration is perfect. There is no shaking, no debris, no scratches. The screen is well-proportioned, wonderfully clean and stable throughout the entire film. Even the wet textures feel organic and alive. The pouring rain scene at the beginning of the film is particularly memorable and beautiful. Colours are also pleasing, with natural tones reproduced effortlessly from dark to light. Grains appear fine and even, with a very pleasing film reproduction. Resolution is excellent, with wrinkles at the corners of Redford's eyes and individual strands of blonde hair showing well. Out-of-focus bokeh is also natural. You can even see the rain bouncing off the roof of the car. I am very satisfied - the KINO LORBER has done a good job. I only have one complaint. The only complaint I have is that there is no resume function. (The resume function means that once you press the stop button during playback and remove the disc, the next time you load the disc and press the play button, it will play from where you left off.) Please improve this next time. Thank you.

Middle East assets.
Very good movie from the 1970’s. I wonder if the subject matter of the movie is the same today 50 years later? Crude oil, maybe?

What makes him so dangerous? "He reads".
Post-Watergate paranoia fueled this film so in many ways it feels contemporary. Performances are outstanding, as is Pollack's direction-- he and Redford met as actors, and the symbiotic nature of their long-term relationship is evident in every one of the seven films they did together, most especially in this and in Jeremiah Johnson. And Max Von Sydow shines.

Un thriller diablement efficace !
Attention ! Sujets à la paranoïa s'abstenir ! Ce film d'espionnage hors norme, servi par un casting de tout premier ordre, juger plutôt : Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Max von Sidow, tous plus épatants les uns que les autres dans leur rôle respectif - le bon pourchassé, la belle d'abord rétive qui finira par lui venir en aide, le tueur froid très professionnel - vous tiendra en haleine du début à la fin. Une dénonciation sans concession des services de renseignements américains. Un classique du genre à ne pas manquer !

Der Condor...zum Abschuß freigegeben....
Ein unauffälliges Büro in New York City, perfekt getarnt als American Literary Historical Society, in Wahrheit eine hochtechnisierte Abteilung der CIA mit 8 Mitarbeitern. Dort werden weltweit Nachrichten gesammelt und danach ausgewertet, ob darin Strategien oder Hinweise zu finden sind, die der CIA von Nutzen sein könnten. Joe Turner (Robert Redford) ist einer von Ihnen und er ist bekannt nicht der pünktlichste und auch nicht der regelkonformste Mitarbeiter im Team zu sein. Heute beispielsweise kommt er etwas zu spät zur Arbeit und in der Mittagspause wird er das Büro verbotenerweise durch den Hintereingang kurz verlassen, dieses Verbot wird ihm aber das Leben retten. Es ist kurz vor Weihnachten, draussen regnet es und die Pause bedeutet eine kurze Entspannung von seinem Job mit Bücher lesen, Passagen ausdrucken, in einen Computer einspeisen, herausfiltern. Als er wieder zurückkehrt, sind alle seine Kollegen bereits tot. Ein drei Mann starkes Killerkommando hat sie alle kaltblütig erschossen. Turner muss nun fliehen, denn die Mörder werden bald herausfinden, dass sie ihren Auftrag nicht vollständig ausgeführt haben und er als einziger Überlebender der Gruppe steht natürlich auf der Abschlußliste. Er muss nun herausfinden, wer hinter diesem Anschlag steckt und vor allem muss er sich in Sicherheit bringen und kann niemandem trauen, vor allem nicht seinem eigenen Arbeitgeber CIA. Er nimmt aber Kontakt zur Dienststelle in Langley auf und soll nun den Anweisungen des Vorgesetzten Higgins (Cliff Robertson) folgen. Aber kann er seinem Chef auch trauen ? Untertauchen wird er bei der schönen Kathy Hale (Faye Dunaway), die taltentierte Fotographin wird seine Geisel. Aber inzwischen ist auch der besonders versierte Profikiller (Max von Sydow) , der von der Organisation nur "der Elsässer" schon dicht auf seinen Fersen... "Die drei Tage des Condor" von Sydney Pollack entstand 1975 und zählt zu den in den 70ern besonders beliebten Paranoia-Thrillern, die u.a. auch politische Verschwörungen und ominöse Geheimdienstaktivitäten beschreiben. Vorausgegangen war das Misstrauen der amerikanischen Bevölkerung gegenüber ihren eigenen Sicherheitsbehörden und vor allem gegenüber der Regierung, die aufgrund der Watergate Affäre in ihrem Vertrauen maßgeblich erschüttert wurde. Dies machte den Weg frei für diese typischen Thriller, die von der undurchsichtigen Haltung der politischen Institutionen handelt. Ein weiteres Thema für diese wunderbaren Thriller war dann auch aufgrund "Watergate" das Abhören durch einen Lauschangriff. Beispiele dafür sind "Klute", "Die Unbestechlichen" oder "Der Dialog". Ein Indiz dafür wie viele klasse Filme in diesen Zeiten der Paranoia hervorgegangen sind. Pollacks Film ist vielleicht einer der flüssigsten seiner Art, denn die Geschichte ist spannend und dynnaisch erzählt. Er bietet auch szenenweise einige Glanzmomente, die super sind (Exposition, Postbotenkiller, jede Szene mit von Sydow), er bietet aber etwas weniger Rätsel im Vergleich zu Alan J. Pakulas "Zeuge einer Verschwörung", bei dem der Zuschauer nicht so viel erfährt. Die Schlußszene von "Drei Tage des Condor" ist aber wieder auf 100 % Paranoia ausgerichtet. Ein runder Film, der durchgehend spannend ist und vorzügliche Unterhaltung bietet. Natürlich bietet es sich bei Kinostars wie Redford und Dunaway an eine Romanze mit einzubauen, die zeigt wie sehr Pollack daran interessiert war seinen Paranoia Beitrag zum großen Publikumserfolg zu machen.

Excellent and beautifully acted 'national security'/spy drama that will make you think
This review may provide some plot spoilers. It is difficult to get across the quality of this film. Three Days of the Condor is not your average spy thriller ad definitely not just another Hollywood commercial production. This film is gripping from the beginning. The main protagonist, Turner, played by Robert Redford, is an ordinary, though very intelligent, man working for a team of CIA people in new York in the capacity of book and journal analysts, scouring all new publications for possible plots and hidden messages that may prove a threat to US security. These days it's all done by computers but this is the seventies, so computers are used but in a much less intensive way and the people's brains are paramount. After returning from lunch one day, Turner finds that all his colleagues have been murdered in a professional 'hit'. He panics, runs away and phones CIA HQ at Langley for instructions. They try to bring him in but this goes wrong and he becomes paranoid, convinced that the CIA is trying to kill him, so he kidnaps a woman, a character who is beautiful, alluring and strangely sad, played brilliantly by Faye Dunaway, so he can hide out in her apartment for a few days and get his head together. So begins an interesting and tense relationship between the two, both of whom are terrified of their own fears: he from the cold forces of evil, she from Turner himself, who threatens her with a gun. The story develops in a logical but unpredictable way, with each character played brilliantly and convincingly, including the chilling Max von Sydow as the assassin. At the end of this film you will feel somewhat drained and it will make you think about the nature of national security and how far we should allow our governments to go in protecting us - a very current dilemma. You'll be glad you bought it.
