Lonely wiretapping expert and devout Catholic Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is hired to record a seemingly innocuous conversation in San Francisco's Union Square between two lovers. Upon re-hearing the tapes, however, Caul believes he may be putting the couple in danger if he turns the material over to his client (Robert Duvall). But what one hears can ultimately turn out to be quite different from what was actually recorded.

"Released during Coppola’s prime, "The Conversation" is a timely, bleak, and brilliant film that hasn’t lost any of its bite or effectiveness."

"Few movies have aged as spectacularly as The Conversation. Built around surveillance in a Post-Watergate America, Francis Ford Coppola tapped into something primal in humanity and the American psyche."
