Three Days of the Condor is a 1975 post-Watergate, post-Vietnam paranoid political/espionage thriller based on the best selling novel and directed by Sidney Pollack (The Yakuza, Out of Africa, The Firm). The film (now considered to be a classic of the genre) stars Robert Redford as a CIA analyst who must go on the run when his entire section is assassinated because of a piece of information he's uncovered.
The following guns were used in the film Three Days of the Condor:
Joe "Condor" Turner (Robert Redford) takes a Colt M1911 from the desk secretary after she has been killed by Joubert and "the mailman". He identifies it on the phone as a ".45 automatic." Note that when he first takes it from the desk it appears to be a wood prop.
"The Mailman", a hitman named William Lloyd (Hank Garrett), uses a suppressed MAC-10 during the opening hit on the CIA facility and later when attempting to kill Condor in the apartment. Condor (Robert Redford) briefly gets his hands on it twice but the mailman kicks it away each time.
Sgt. Jennings (Hansford Rowe), the security guard at the American Literature Historical Society CIA deep cover in New York, reaches for a Winchester Model 1897 when he was shot.
Turner's CIA station chief S.W. Wicks (Michael Kane) requests a .45 from the CIA armorer and is given a 9 mm Star Model B, which he attaches a suppressor onto and uses during the alley shootout with Condor and to fatally shoot Sam Barber.
Joubert (Max von Sydow) aims a Mauser C96 with a holster, stock, and scope at Condor outside Sam and Mae Barber's apartment building but is unable to fire it.
