English Summary:

Conspiracy Theory is a 1997 American political action thriller film directed by Richard Donner. The original screenplay by Brian Helgeland centers on an eccentric taxi driver (Mel Gibson) who believes many world events are triggered by government conspiracies, and the Justice Department attorney (Julia Roberts) who becomes involved in his life. The film was a financial success, but critical reviews were mixed.

Conspiracy-theorist and New York City taxi driver Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson) continually expounds his ideas to Alice Sutton (Julia Roberts), a lawyer at the Justice Department. She humors him because he once saved her from a mugging, but is unaware he spies on her at her home. Her own work is to solve the mystery of her father (Bert Remsen)'s murder. Seeing suspicious activity everywhere, Jerry identifies some men as CIA workers, follows them into a building, and is captured. The interrogator injects a wheelchair-bound Jerry with LSD and questions him using torture. Jerry experiences terrifying hallucinations and flashbacks, panics, and manages to escape by incapacitating the interrogator by biting his nose and kicking him.

Later, after being captured again, Jerry is handcuffed to a hospital bed and forced into a drug-induced sleep. Alice visits, and Jerry persuades her to switch his chart with the criminal in the next bed or he will be dead by morning. When Alice returns the next day, the criminal is dead, allegedly from a heart attack. The CIA, FBI and other agencies are there, led by CIA psychiatrist Dr. Jonas (Patrick Stewart), whose nose is bandaged. Meanwhile Jerry fakes a heart attack and, with Alice’s help, escapes again and later hides in Alice's car. While Alice and FBI Agent Lowry (Cylk Cozart) are examining Jerry's personal items, the CIA arrive and confiscate everything just after Lowry asks to “compare notes.” She declines Lowry's offer to work with her, and later finds Jerry hiding in her car. They leave the hospital and on the way to Jerry’s apartment Jerry explains someone is likely following her. To Jerry’s instruction, Alice switches lanes and realizes someone is following her. It turns out to be Lowry who later stops following her. They go inside Jerry's well secured apartment where he tells her about the conspiracy newsletter he produces.

Hungarian Summary:

A taxisofőrnek be nem áll a szája. Jerry fletcher azzal szórakoztatja mindenkori utasát, hogy feltárja, miféle borzalmas összeesküvések hálójában élünk. Paranoiás, de senkit sem bánt - legyintenek rá a kocsijából kiszállók. Kivéve egyikük, akit a lökött pasi szövege telibe talál. Ettől a perctől fogva Fletcher élete fabatkát sem ér. Az első gyilkossági kísérletet valahogy megússza, de kezdi sejteni, hogy második esélye már nem lesz.
