Zodiac is David Fincher's film, a psychological thriller based on facts relating to the San Francisco Bay Area terror during the late 1960s and early 1970s, attributed to the Zodiac Killer. It is the biographical story of a cartoonist, Robert Graysmith, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, who becomes an obsessive puzzle solver of cryptic letters and cryptic ciphers sent by the killer. It shows the psychic costs to those involved and sheds light on obsessions, paranoia, and man's search for truth when unknown mysteries still plague them.
