Note: Minor Spoilers Ahead
Three Days Of The Condor is an Unwilling Participant film - by which I mean someone is taken hostage, yet somehow within the space of a day or so, is willing to risk her life and freedom for the person who's taken her hostage. I'm blanking on the best examples of this genre - Commando comes to mind right away, but that film is a mountain of cheese whereas this one is a mere hillock. Still, it's an exemplar of the genre - MacGuffins abound, people in clandestine organizations gnash their teeth about this lone, rogue, wolf, unaccounted for operative, and the film has a 70s bent that simply couldn't be replicated today.
