'Conspiracy Theory'

Scene from this movie Reckless cabbie Jerry Fletcher shares his outlandish suspicions in regard to the Vatican, Freemasons, fluoridated water and Oliver Stone’s secret involvement with George Bush with his hapless, most often terrified passengers. At night, he combs the newspapers for evidence of conspiracies, which he exposes in his own newsletter, Conspiracy Theory.

Jerry also confides in Alice Sutton, a sensible attorney with the Justice Department. Alice, who has repeatedly thrown him out of her office, invariably pooh-poohs his amusing, seemingly implausible predictions. All that changes, however, when Jerry is kidnapped, drugged and tortured by the cold-blooded Dr. Jonas, a government psychiatrist who seems to believe that Jerry knows something and is determined to extract it from the terrified taxi driver even if he has to drive him insane in the process. -- Rita Kempley
