Joseph Frady (Warren Beatty) is an ambitious reporter working in an atmosphere of dread and mistrust in 1970s America. Three years after witnessing the murder of a leading senator atop Seattle’s Space Needle, Frady begins digging into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the killing - and stumbles into a labyrinthine conspiracy far more sinister than he could have imagined.

The Parallax View’s coolly stylised, shadow-etched compositions by acclaimed cinematographer Gordon Willis give visual expression to a mood that begins as an anxious whisper and ends as a scream into the void.

"A political conspiracy thriller par excellence and a candidate perhaps for Beatty's finest screen moment." - David Wood, BBC
