Conspiracy Theory is a 1997 American thriller directed by Richard Donner and starring Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, and Patrick Stewart. The film tells the story of Jerry Fletcher (Gibson), a New York City cab driver who has a knack for conspiracies and believes that the government is hiding something from the public. He becomes obsessed with Alice Sutton (Roberts), a government lawyer who he believes is involved in a mysterious conspiracy.

Jerry is a brilliant but paranoid man who spends his days driving around the city and spewing conspiracy theories to anyone who will listen. He is convinced that there is a secret government agency called the Justice Department that is involved in all sorts of nefarious activities, including assassinations and cover-ups. He writes a newsletter about his theories, which he distributes to a small group of loyal subscribers.

Alice Sutton is a government lawyer who becomes Jerry's obsession. She initially dismisses Jerry as a harmless kook, but she soon realizes that there may be some truth to his ramblings. She is investigating a case involving a mysterious figure known only as "The Catcher," who is targeting government officials for assassination. When Jerry starts to uncover information that could blow the lid off the conspiracy, Alice becomes his only hope for survival.

Patrick Stewart plays Dr. Jonas, a cold and calculating psychiatrist who seems to be involved in the conspiracy. He is hired by Alice to evaluate Jerry's mental health, but it soon becomes clear that he has ulterior motives. Dr. Jonas is a mysterious figure who seems to hold all the answers to the conspiracy, but he is also one of its main perpetrators.

As Jerry and Alice unravel the truth behind the conspiracy, they find themselves running for their lives. They are pursued by a group of assassins who will stop at nothing to keep them from revealing the truth. They must evade their would-be killers while also deciphering clues that will help them uncover the full extent of the conspiracy.

The film is a fast-paced thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. Gibson delivers a powerful performance as the paranoid cab driver, bringing both wit and intensity to the role. Roberts also shines as the tough-as-nails government lawyer who finds herself in over her head. And Stewart is chilling as the enigmatic psychiatrist who may hold the key to everything.

Overall, Conspiracy Theory is a thrilling and entertaining movie that explores the darker side of government and the lengths that some will go to keep their secrets hidden. It is a must-see for fans of the thriller genre and anyone who enjoys a good conspiracy theory.
