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.
The Conversation was awarded the Palme d'Or at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival and received three nominations at the 1975 Academy Awards, including one for Best Picture. It is regarded as one of the greatest American films of all time.
