Tagline: There is no conspiracy. Just twelve people dead.
Plot: The second insallment in director Alan J. Pakula's "paranoid trilogy," THE PARALLAX VIEW falls between KLUTE and ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, and of the three films it most strongly conveys the theme of paranoia. A stylish suspense-thriller, THE PARALLAX VIEW mirrors the political distrust Americans began to feel during the period following the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, and culminating in the Watergate conspiracy.The film stars Warren Beatty as investigative journalist Joe Frady, whose former girlfriend and colleague Lee Carter (Paula Prentiss) witnesses the assassination of a U.S. Senator at the Seattle Space Needle. A government report declares it the work of a lone gunman, but Carter is convinced that a wider conspiracy is at work when eyewitnesses begin showing up dead. Probing deeper, Frady uncovers the operations of the Parallax Corporation, which recruits social misfits and uses mind control techniques to turn them into assassins.
