Three Days of the Condor	comment	Three Days of the Condor is a 1975 political thriller film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson, and Max von Sydow.Mild-mannered researcher Joe Turner (Redford) works for the Central Intelligence Agency in a small building in New York City, reading book after book to review their plots to see if they either contain elements that may be similar to ongoing covert operations or else be useful ideas for the CIA to employ. One day during the holiday season, Turner steps out of the office to grab some lunch at a nearby deli. While he's gone, a hit squad led by Joubert (von Sydow) enters the office and kills Turner's co-workers (including love interest Janice). Terrified, Turner calls in the deaths to his CIA handlers, who prompt him for his codename 'Condor' and order him to follow procedures for pick-up and debriefing. In the process, things keep getting messier and Turner begins to worry that his own employer the CIA is trying to murder him.After a botched pick-up gets his last friend in the CIA killed, Turner is forced to kidnap Kathy Hale (Dunaway) and use her apartment as a hideout. At first afraid for her life, Hale rather quickly falls for Turner and they sleep together. With Kathy's help, Turner is able to capture CIA honcho Higgins (Robertson), who reveals he himself is in the dark and wants Turner to stay "on the outside" to draw out the assassins, so the CIA can figure out who's rotten within their own ranks. Now all Turner has to do is survive Joubert's attempts on his life, keep Kathy safe, and figure out why someone in the CIA wants him dead...A TV remake, known as Condor, is currently airing on Audience.

The names of the characters were different, it had another reason for killing the CIA readers (some agency higher-ups used the book shipments to smuggle drugs), and had another faction (Oversight, which polices all intelligence agencies and reports only to the Senate).

Despite his Armor-Piercing Question, Higgins' initial response to Turner's claim that he told everything to the New York Times suggests that he's not so certain what they'll do either. Even the best-case scenario means a massive blow to the US's plans overseas, not to mention the CIA's covert operations. The movie still ends with Turner looking back at Higgins, worried that the CIA will kill the story.

Three Days of the Condor / int_d1cedb73	comment	Slap-Slap-Kiss: Turner kidnaps Hale in an attempt to evade his pursuers. Hale is obviously terrified of this gun-toting lunatic raving about working for the CIA, and doesn't appreciate getting tied up half the time. But the first chance they get, they start making out.

Three Days of the Condor / int_df4edb04	type	Corrupt Bureaucrat
Three Days of the Condor / int_df4edb04	comment	Corrupt Bureaucrat: Atwood. According to Higgins, he took a theoretical plan to the next level without approval - the loaded nature of this explanation does nothing to relax Turner. Higgins himself becomes this. He actually thought Atwood's plan could have worked, and even argues during the final scene that in fifteen years Americans would be clamoring for the seized oil fields.

Three Days of the Condor / int_e5e2f357	comment	Strategy, Schmategy: In a scene early in the film, Joubert discusses this trope, stating that he can't predict what Turner is going to do after going into hiding because he doesn't believe Turner himself, being an analyst rather than an agent, knows what he's going to do.
