Anton Karas wrote and performed the score, which featured only the zither. The title music " The Third Man Theme " topped the international music charts in , bringing the previously unknown performer international fame. It is considered one of the greatest films of all time , celebrated for its acting, musical score and atmospheric cinematography. In a poll of actors, directors, writers, producers and critics for Time Out magazine saw it ranked the second best British film ever.
Opportunistic racketeering thrives in a damaged and impoverished Allied-occupied Vienna , which is divided into four sectors, each controlled by one of the occupying forces: American, British, French, and Soviet. These powers share the duties of law enforcement in the city.
American pulp Western writer Holly Martins Joseph Cotten comes to the city seeking his childhood friend, Harry Lime, who has offered him a job. Upon arrival, he discovers that Lime was killed while crossing the street just hours earlier by a speeding truck. Martins attends Lime's funeral, where he meets two British Army Police: An official of the British occupying forces Wilfrid Hyde-White approaches Martins, requesting that he give a lecture and offering to pay for his lodging.
Viewing this as an opportunity to clear his friend's name, Martins decides to remain in Vienna. To learn more, Martins goes to see Anna at the theatre where she is performing; she suggests Harry's death may not have been accidental. They question the porter at Lime's apartment building: Lime died immediately and was carried off the street by someone else in addition to Lime's two friends.
Martins berates the porter for not being more forthcoming with the police about what he knows. Concerned for his family's safety, the porter indignantly tells Martins not to involve him. The police, searching Anna's flat for evidence, find and confiscate her forged passport and detain her.
Anna tells Martins that she is of Czechoslovak nationality and will be deported from Austria by the Soviet occupying forces if discovered. Martins visits Lime's "medical adviser", Dr Winkel Erich Ponto , who says that he arrived at the accident after Lime was dead, and only two men were present. Later, the porter secretly offers Martins more information but is murdered before their arranged meeting. When Martins arrives, unaware of the murder, a young boy recognizes him as having argued with the porter earlier and points this out to the gathering bystanders, who become hostile, and then mob-like.

Escaping from them, Martins returns to the hotel, and a cab whisks him away. He fears it is taking him to his death but takes him to the book club. With no lecture prepared, he stumbles until Popescu, in the audience, asks him about his next book. Martins replies that it will be called The Third Man , "a murder story" inspired by facts.
Popescu tells Martins that he should stick to fiction. Martins sees two thugs approaching and flees. Calloway again advises Martins to leave Vienna, but Martins refuses and demands that Lime's death be investigated. Calloway reluctantly reveals that Lime had been stealing penicillin from military hospitals, and selling it on the black market diluted so much that many patients died.
In postwar Vienna, antibiotics were new and scarce outside military hospitals and commanded a very high price. Calloway's evidence convinces Martins. Disillusioned, he agrees to leave Vienna. Martins visits Anna to say good-bye and finds that she also knows of Lime's misdeeds, but that her feelings toward him are unchanged. She tells him she is to be deported. Upon leaving her flat, he notices someone watching from a dark doorway; a neighbour's lit window briefly reveals the person to be Lime Orson Welles , who flees, ignoring Martins's calls. Martins summons Calloway, who deduces that Lime has escaped through the sewers.
The British police immediately exhume Lime's coffin and discover that the body is that of Joseph Harbin, an orderly who stole penicillin for Lime and was reported missing after turning informant. Martins goes to Kurtz and demands to see Lime. Lime comes out to meet him and they ride Vienna's Ferris wheel , the Wiener Riesenrad. Lime indirectly threatens Martins's life but relents when told that the police already know his death and funeral were faked. In a monologue on the insignificance of his victims, he reveals the full extent of his amorality.
He again offers a job to Martins and leaves. Calloway asks Martins to help lure Lime out to capture him, and Martins agrees, asking for Anna's safe conduct out of Vienna in exchange. However, Anna refuses to leave and remains loyal to Lime. Exasperated, Martins decides to leave but changes his mind after Calloway shows Martins the children who are victims of Lime's diluted penicillin, brain-damaged as a result of meningitis. Lime sneaks out for his rendezvous with Martins, but Anna, still loyal to Lime, arrives and warns him off just in time. He tries again to escape through the sewers, but the police are there in force.
Lime shoots and kills Paine, but Calloway shoots and wounds Lime.
Badly injured, Lime drags himself up a ladder to a street grating exit but cannot lift it. Martins picks up Paine's revolver, follows Lime, reaches him, but hesitates. Lime looks at him and nods. A shot is heard. Later, Martins attends Lime's second funeral. At the risk of missing his flight out of Vienna, Martins waits in the cemetery to speak to Anna. She approaches him from a distance and walks past, ignoring him. Before writing the screenplay, Graham Greene worked out the atmosphere, characterisation and mood of the story by writing a novella. In he met Elizabeth Montagu in Vienna.
She gave him tours of the city, its sewers and some of its less reputable night-clubs. Smolka gave Greene the stories about the black market in Vienna. The narrator in the novella is Major Calloway, which gives the book a slightly different emphasis from that of the screenplay. A small portion of his narration appears in a modified form at the film's beginning in Reed's voice-over: Other differences include both Martins' and Lime's nationalities; they are English in the book.
