Synopsis
"In the wake of Watergate,
Sydney Pollack and
Redford reunite on this consummately executed and all-too-believable thriller.
Redford is Joseph Turner (aka Condor), a reader for the CIA whose low-level job involves entering data into computers to see if secret codes have been leaked. Discovering a plot within the agency that leads to the murder of his colleagues, he must go on the lam like so many
Hitchcock heroes before him. With stellar support from
Max von Sydow as an assassin,
Cliff Robertson and
John Houseman as deadly government officials, and
Faye Dunaway as a woman Turner abducts and who winds up aiding his escape." – Film Society Lincoln Center
