The Conversation

Lonely wiretapping expert Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is hired to record a seemingly innocuous conversation between two lovers (Frederick Forsythe and Cindy Williams). 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.
