_Three Days of the Condor_ 1975

Is probably a more accurate depiction of a CIA Station with analysts that reads commercially published materials and sends what seems relevant to their superiors.

It is a thriller and Redford is remarkably resourceful. But the first part of the movie seems somewhat believable.
