“What if your most paranoid nightmares had just come true?”
Conspiracy Theory (1997) pits an obsessive believer in clandestine plots against unseen adversaries when one of his theories proves prescient. Robert McCall, a relentless crusader for truth, finds himself in a desperate game of cat and mouse, racing to decipher which of his wild conjectures holds the key to his survival. Directed by Richard Donner, the film weaves paranoia and suspense into a taut narrative, where the line between imagined threats and real dangers blurs perilously.
