Marathon Man is a 1976 thriller film based on the novel of the same name by William Goldman. The film was directed by John Schlesinger, and stars Dustin Hoffman as the protagonist.
Roy Scheider as his brother, an undercover agent, and Laurence Olivier as Nazi dentist and war criminal.

what happens in the clip is that there is a man in his running gear running on the field this is shown in a tracking shot as the guy is running the camera is moving with him, it then shows another men in a suit walking towards a locker which he then opens t bring out something in a shape of a rectangle box this is keeping us in suspense as we would like to know whats in there also how this is conected to the guy running. The background music were of people screming so this is also creating a scene of suspense as why are people screaming. The place that this was set in was the running field where is starts of with a man running and then into a room full of lockers with dark lighting making it look like its secretive. The editing was parallel as two different stories where shown.
The titles where is bold,white. It was coming in from the left to the right which then faded away.
