Three Days of the Condor

(thing) by Cid Highwind (3.3 y) (print) ? (I like it!) Thu Apr 05 2001 at 21:13:42

1975 movie starring Robert Redford as a CIA operative code-named Condor. His job was to read books, and report on coincidences and similarities. (Presumably the CIA is so paranoid it analyzes fiction for possible intelligence value.)

After everyone in his office is murdered, he has to find out why they were killed, and who he can trust within the CIA enough to report what happened. There are a few scenes with some good phone hacking, that are especially funny if you have already seen Sneakers. And yes Kevin Mitnick's handle "condor" is a reference to Redford's character in this movie.

The movie was based on the novel Six Days of the Condor by James Grady.
