Peterson, and Julian Richings. It tells the story of two documentary filmmakers who set out to create a film about a conspiracy theorist named "Terrance G" who disappears during the making of the film. The two filmmakers are subsequently drawn into the world of a global syndicate whose aims and machinations are clouded in secrecy. == Plot == Aaron and Jim are filmmakers who, after receiving a link to an online video that mocks a local conspiracy theorist, decide to make a documentary film about him. The man, Terrance G., shows them a billboard that he uses to catalog information and draw connections between events. Impressed with his dedication and the depth of his research, the documentary takes a sympathetic but skeptical view of Terrance's beliefs. During an outdoors interview, Terrance becomes agitated and points out a man whom he believes to be following him. Shortly afterward, Terrance disappears without a trace. Worried, Aaron and Jim investigate and find that Terrance's apartment is being cleared out. Aaron salvages Terrance's work and recreates it on his own wall. When Aaron claims to have found the connecting conspiracy that Terrance was investigating, Jim reluctantly agrees to pursue it further for the documentary. When Aaron's house is broken into, he moves in with Jim and his family, who view Aaron's increasing obsession with the Tarsus club with alarm. Aaron's research leads them to the Tarsus Club, a shadowy non-governmental organization and ancient secret society that has meetings just prior to major global shifts. The only evidence of its existence is a single article written in ''Time'' magazine by Mark Tucker. Unable to find any information about Tucker, they turn to the Internet and solicit information from the public. A man who claims to be Tucker eventually contacts them and requests that they remove all their information from the Internet in return for an interview. Tucker explains that his editor butchered the article and converted it from an expose into a non-threatening PR piece. The group worships Mithras, but little is known about their secretive ceremonies except that it involves the sacrifice of a bull. However, their influence on culture and society is far-reaching. Tucker reveals that their secret handshake is the origin of handshakes in general. Tucker eventually contacts Aaron and Jim with news that he may be able to sneak them into an upcoming Tarsus Club meeting. Although apprehensive, the two filmmakers agree. Armed with hidden cameras, they document the initiation ceremony. When they are split, Aaron becomes worried for Jim's safety and attempts to contact him, which draws the ire of the Tarsus Club. After threats to call security and veiled threats about his family, they reveal that they have brought Jim's family to the mansion. Aaron, set loose with a bull's head mask, realizes that he is the sacrificial bull for the ceremony. He flees but is caught; his hidden camera records their attack but does not show his ultimate fate. In an epilogue, members of the Tarsus Club edit the footage and perform a series of brief interviews. Jim disavows any wrongdoing by the Tarsus Club and theorizes that Aaron has joined Terrance. The Tarsus Club make a statement that reassures the world that they are not engaged in any conspiracies, though they advocate a benevolent one world government. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Conspiracy (2012 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
