Three Days of The Condor is a 1975 movie directed by Sidney Pollack. Josey a.k.a. The Condor (Robert Redford) works for CIA in the literary department where they read books from different nations and feed their plots and other suspicious content into the computer, for analysis. One afternoon, he goes for lunch and on return finds all of his colleagues assassinated. Thus starts his run from the perpetrators which also includes the director of his division. Josey kidnaps a young woman (Faye Dunaway) and with her help tries to solve the mystery behind the killings and the actual people behind them. A German professional hit-man (Max von Sydow) is hired to track and kill him. The story of the man on the run reminds you of some Hitchcock classics. The movie is a fine thriller and no where do you feel the pace getting slowed. And the idea of CIA trying to control the oil producing Middle Eastern nations is so very relevant even today. Robert Redford plays the ordinary man stuck in a fatal situation with ease. Faye Dunaway looks extremely beautiful. But it is Max von Sydow who is excellent as the assassin and completely steals the show with his great presence.
Overall "Three Days of Condor" is a pretty entertaining fare.
