A well-made thriller, tense and involving, and the scary thing, in these months after Watergate, is that it’s all too believable.
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

118 minutes. Rated R. Directed by Sydney Pollack. In English. DCP.

Screening as part of “Fall of ‘75,” a celebration of some of the greatest films from one of cinema’s greatest years.

On a seemingly ordinary day, Joe Turner (Robert Redford), a quiet CIA codebreaker, walks into his workplace and finds that all of his coworkers have been murdered. Horrified, Joe flees the scene and tries to tell his supervisors about the tragedy. Unfortunately, he soon learns that CIA higher-ups were involved in the murders. With no one to trust, and a merciless hit man (Max von Sydow) close on his tail, Joe must somehow survive long enough to figure out why his own agency wants him dead.
