3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR – A Fresh Look
The 1975 spy movie, 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR, is a “reluctant spy” movie starring Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway. Cliff Robertson, and Max von Sydow.
Dan and Tom take a fresh look at this movie, decoding the plot, characters, direction, and more. What are the influences on 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR as well as what movies/TV shows may CONDOR have influenced? What about Hercules (the myth, not the movie)? “Seinfeld?” The James Bond series, Mission: Impossible, or the Bourne series? And then, there’s the actor Sterling Hayden, the MCU, and more.
3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR has an intriguing plot that has Robert Redford’s character, Turner – codenamed Condor, dealing with a series of murders, with him being a target as well. Turner works for the CIA in the role of a reader. Significantly, Turner is not an agent. What other spy movies can you think of where the protagonist wasn’t really a spy? Decoded!
