Synopsis:

Francis Ford Coppola’s provoking mystery-drama explores the morality of privacy, and stars Gene Hackman as Harry Caul, expert surveillance man. A routine wire-tapping job turns into a modern nightmare as Harry hears something disturbing in his recording of a young couple in a park. He begins to worry about what the tape may be used for, and becomes involved in a maze of secrecy and murder.

Set in San Francisco, the film also features Cindy Williams, Harrison Ford, and Frederic Forrest, and was nominated for Best Picture of 1974!
