When witnesses to the assassination of a presidential candidate begin to mysteriously disappear, journalist Joe Frady (Warren Beatty) goes undercover in an investigation that leads him to the Parallax Corporation, a shadowy entity involved in the recruitment and training of professional hit men.
Memorably shot by the great Gordon Willis, Alan J. Pakula’s (All The President’s Men) post-Watergate conspiracy thriller brilliantly caught the prevailing mood of cynicism and paranoia. The bravura sequence where Parallax operatives subject Frady to a montage of confrontational imagery to evaluate his responses is unforgettable.
