The most enduring and important creative relationship that Robert Redford had throughout his career was with director Sydney Pollack, who first directed Redford in the 1966 drama film This Property Is Condemned, which gave him his first leading film role. After reuniting with the 1972 Western Jeremiah Johnson and the 1973 hit romantic drama The Way We Were, Pollack and Redford ventured into the espionage genre with the 1975 spy thriller Three Days of the Condor. In it, Redford plays Joe Turner, a mild-mannered CIA researcher who, after returning from lunch to find all his colleagues murdered, must stay alive while uncovering the motive behind the killings.
