Our take

This superlative conspiracy thriller from the genre’s golden age follows the fallout from Robert Redford’s bad day at the office. Autumnally frosted and engulfed in a fog of post-Watergate malaise, Three Days of the Condor is a neurotically propulsive study in sex, death, and Deep State paranoia.
