...shooting of John Kennedy and flew into an orbit of conspiratorial delirium that made the flakiest assassination theories seem like whitewash. Richert's film starts off from Condon, streamlines the plot and adds a few new quirks. Nineteen years after the event, Nick Kegan (Bridges) follows a zig-zag trail of clues, threats and intuitions to find out who killed his President brother. But who will help him?
