Description:Reporter Joseph Frady (Warren Beatty) was present when a presidential candidate was murdered. The shooter dies, and all evidence seems to indicate he acted alone. But three years later, Frady realizes that many of the people present died in mysterious ways. He begins investigating and finds evidence leading to the Parallax Corporation, a sketchy business that does things for corporations. As Frady investigates, others are killed. He decides to apply to Parallax, and at first, they seem interested. Then they find out who he is, kill his editor (the only person who knew what he had found), frame him for the murder of a senator, then kill him.

Reviews for The Parallax View

Review - Parallax View, The

Suspenseful, but filled with plot holes and unanswered questions I won't bother going into. After the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK, conspiracy theorists had a field day, and this movie was made to play on those theories.
