Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson) is a taxi driver who thinks that the world is filled with lies...That nothing is what it seems. He publishes these thoughts in a newsletter he sends out once in a while. After being tortured with his eyes typed open with flashing strobe lights, and a giant shot put in his leg, it turns out one of his theories is true though, and it has him and government employee Alice Sutton (Julia Roberts) on the run from a contingent led by a man named Dr. Jonas (Patrick Stewart). The question is: Which of his many theories is true? Interesting note: Gibson, Roberts and Stewart all appeared on "Sesame Street" in the 90s. Strange, huh?
