Offered in 0 more formatsDirected by Francis Ford Coppola, THE CONVERSATION tells the story of sound surveillance expert Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) who is hired to track a young couple, taping their conversation as they walk through San Francisco's crowded Union Square. Knowing full well how technology can invade privacy, Harry obsessively keeps to himself, separating business from his personal life, even refusing to discuss what he does or where he lives with his girlfriend, Amy (Teri Garr). Harry's work starts to trouble him, however, as he comes to believe that the conversation he pieced together reveals a plot by the mysterious corporate "Director" who hired him to murder the couple. After the tapes are stolen, Harry is all the more convinced that a killing will occur, and he can no longer separate his job from his conscience. Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1974 **Cannes Film Festival**. Nominated for three **Academy Awards** (Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound) and four **Golden Globes** (including Best Motion Picture - Drama and Best Director). *"A taut, intelligent thriller."* - Roger Ebert, ***The Chicago Sun-Times***
