See the films the platforms disagree about most →New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison becomes suspicious of the official investigation into President Kennedy's assassination. He begins his own unofficial inquiry, uncovering inconsistencies, overlooked evidence, and potential witnesses that point toward a complex conspiracy. His investigation leads him to believe the assassination was not the work of a lone gunman but a wide-ranging plot involving government agencies, leading him to file charges against a businessman with suspected intelligence connections.
