Conspiracy Theory Conspiracy in films: 3 Days of the Condor.

[Procrastinator35]

Back in the day, before the full-on intel saturation of Hollywood & the Mainstream media, a Movie by the name of 3 Days of the Condor (1973) starring Robert Redford & Faye Dunaway, was made about the C.I.A....Which was eerily accurate in it's portrayals of it's nefarious misdeeds.....As the narrator in the trailer below explains accurately enough. Other movies about the intel community & it's nefarious activities include The Falcon & The Snowman(1985) starring Sean Penn....Which eerily foretells the Edward Snowdon affair & exposes the C.I.A's plan to oust the Whitlam government......The Little Drummer Girl (1983), was all about exposing Israel's MOSSAD & it's modus operandi in Palestine.



Any other movies people know about that are explicitly about intel/government conspiracies?

I don’t think it’s any secret that most of our pulp fiction and pop art is based on historical events though..

*Random bump* I haven't properly watched this film, but V for Vendetta comes to mind. A couple of parallels to today's world
