The Anderson Tapes is a crime thriller film released in 1971, directed by Sidney Lumet. Here are some additional plot details to further understand the storyline:

After being released from prison, Duke Anderson (played by Sean Connery), a skilled thief, reunites with his former lover Ingrid (played by Dyan Cannon) in her luxurious Upper East Side apartment in New York City. Duke is determined to plan and execute one final heist that could set him up for life.

Unbeknownst to Duke, the entire building, including Ingrid's apartment, is under surveillance by various law enforcement agencies due to a high-profile corporate tenant residing in the building. The surveillance is primarily intended to monitor this tenant, not Duke himself.

As Duke reconnects with Ingrid and starts outlining his ambitious plan to rob the building, he begins assembling a diverse team of accomplices, each with their specialized skills. Among these associates are a safecracker, electronics expert, and an experienced driver. Duke's ultimate goal is to infiltrate the building's secure vault, where an abundance of valuables are stored.

However, the surveillance cameras capture Duke's every move, secretly recording both audio and video evidence of his conversations, planning sessions, and the gradual formation of his crew. This seemingly foolproof plan, which Duke believes is meticulously secret, begins to unravel as the authorities piece together the information they gather.

The film incorporates a significant amount of surveillance footage, emphasizing the privacy concerns and lack of personal freedom in society. It also touches on the ethics of government surveillance and the potential abuses of power.

As Duke and his team finalize their plans and start putting them into action, the surveillance agencies become increasingly aware of the impending heist. The authorities, including the police and FBI, start actively working to prevent the theft.

The tension builds as Duke's crew implements their well-thought-out strategy, navigating the complex security systems within the building. As they make their way towards the highly secured vault, they encounter unexpected obstacles and increasing pressure from both law enforcement and the surveillance agencies.

The film reaches its dramatic climax when Duke and his associates, finally reaching the vault, face a dangerous and unforeseen situation. Their plan, which had seemed almost foolproof, unravels as they encounter betrayal and unexpected events. The outcome of the heist and the fate of Duke, his crew, and the surveillance operation intertwine in a climactic and unexpected twist.

The Anderson Tapes explores themes of trust, surveillance, personal freedom, and the consequences of one's actions. It depicts a heist that is not only jeopardized by the authorities but is also unknowingly compromised by the surveillance system, leaving Duke and his crew to confront a series of challenges and shocking revelations.
