The Anderson Tapes (1971)
Movie
Released
A planned robbery moves through a city already covered by overlapping systems of observation. Sidney Lumet lets the surveillance exceed what either the criminals or individual officials fully understand. The heist provides a clear route into the paranoia, where being recorded does not mean anyone has assembled the right meaning at the right time.
