Special Features: 50th Anniversary | Introduction by James Grady, author of “Six Days of the Condor” | FREE for SCC members

In this gripping political thriller from Sydney Pollack, Joe Turner (Robert Redford), code-named “Condor,” enters his clandestine CIA office in New York City to find all his co-workers murdered. In his ensuing struggle to evade the same fate, Condor forcibly recruits a woman (Faye Dunaway) to aid him, uncovers a vast conspiracy and learns that he can trust no one. Released just three years after the Watergate scandal, THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR was immediately praised for its all-too-real timeliness; Pollack’s expert direction captured a pervasive sense of paranoia that gripped the nation and is still felt to this day. Since its original release 50 years ago, the film’s stature has only grown, making it both a powerful document of its time and a prophetic vision of the future of geo-politics. DIR Sydney Pollack; SCR David Rayfiel, Lorenzo Semple Jr., from the novel “Six Days of the Condor” by James Grady; PROD Stanley Schneider. U.S., 1975, color, 118 min. RATED R
