Clint Eastwood and the mythic “certainties” of the classic Hollywood genre movie collide with the chaos and decay of a factionalised early 1970s urban America, the New Society, and law and order politics.

Featuring a memorable score by Lalo Schifrin and gritty San Francisco locations filmed by Bruce Surtees, Siegel’s influential neo-noir draws upon the notorious real-life case of the Zodiac killer in its troubling exploration of justice, ethics, fascism and the limits of lawful society. Siegel’s definitive statement on the conservative backlash remains disturbingly relevant to our times.
