I was digging through boxes to find an old Vivitar 35EE I knew I'd brought back from Germany 30 years ago and found a closed film shield bag with about 20 rolls of T-Max and Tri X 120 that I'd bought in '87. Is is possible that the film which has been in the lead lined bag at about 70 degrees F all that time might be any good? I'd bought the film to take on an Army trip to Europe which never came off and then got side tracked--for 20 years!
 
Should be fine, though you'd want to test a roll before using it for anything critical to see where the base fog is at. I had some 1973 expired Tri-X last summer that was good enough for snap-shot work; yours is significantly newer and better stored.
