THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR
Sundance, 8:00 p.m. ET
Robert Redford’s Sundance Channel is showing this 1975 political thriller that’s a precursor of every Bourne-again drama about secret agents gone rogue, or smelling conspiracies. This one is a great little movie, directed by Sydney Pollack and co-starring Cliff Robertson and Faye Dunaway. Redford plays a CIA researcher who suddenly is on the run, chased by his own agency – and though younger viewers may be thrown by the pivotal fact that this whole drama takes place in an era before cellphones, it ought to grab anyone who tunes in, and not let go.
