Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson) is a
paranoid taxi driver who sees evidence of sinister plots in even the most
ordinary places. Alice Sutton (Julia Roberts), on the other hand, is a bright,

flung conspiracy theories. When one of his most outlandish theories turns out
to be true, this mismatched pair suddenly finds themselves thrown together in
an extraordinary search for the truth.
