Conspiracy Theory

Conspiracy Theory (1997) is Richard Donner's thriller with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts, free to watch online on iFILM. New York cabbie Jerry Fletcher sees secret plots everywhere and mails his paranoia out in a homemade newsletter that almost nobody reads.

Then one of his wild hunches turns out to be real, and suddenly people want him dead. His only hope is Alice Sutton, a Justice Department lawyer who first writes him off as another crank. As the chase tightens, the eerily soft-spoken Dr. Jonas — played by Patrick Stewart — reveals who has been watching Jerry all along.

Donner, the man behind Lethal Weapon, blends car chases and romance with a nervy guessing game about where delusion ends and the truth begins. Gibson swings between pitiful and tender, and Jerry's own memory hides a key he is terrified to turn. An action mystery that rides on the chemistry of its two stars.
