Who can explain to me the detailed plot of the movie Zodiac?

In the 1970s, LAPD, which often encountered difficulties, once again faced new challenges. This serial killer named "Zodiac Killer" once again disturbed the peaceful living atmosphere of urban residents. The mysterious and arrogant "Zodiac" usually haunts in the middle of the night when the moon is dark and windy, looking for "prey" in the horrible dark streets.

The ferocious "Zodiac" can attack anyone, and no one, old or young, will let this murderous maniac have the slightest pity. After killing several people in a row, the "Zodiac Killer" has become a terrorist that makes residents talk about it.

This killer has hobbies, too. Every time he kills someone, he will leave some clues, and then send them to the police by mail in the form of words or tapes to "help" them solve the case.

In addition to provocation, it also brought worries to the busy police station again and again. The heartbroken policeman failed several times and was close to the murderer, all of whom were successfully escaped by the "Zodiac".

It is the San Francisco Chronicle reporters Robert (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Paul (Robert Downey Jr.) who found some valuable clues with their keen insight. So, they teamed up with David (Mark Alan Ruffalo), a famous detective in Los Angeles, and Bill (anthony edwards), a partner, to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance.

The increasingly arrogant "Zodiac" seems to have begun to revel in the contest with these four people. In this contest like "Catch me if you dare", the fierce "Zodiac" began to extend its bloody black hand to these four men.

Behind the scenes production

David fincher spent more than a year making this film, which was very demanding. Although Robert didn't participate in the writing of the script, david fincher still regarded him as one of the consultants. At the same time, Ken Naro, a detective who participated in the investigation, was invited as a consultant.

David fincher said, "No one knows who the zodiac signs are at present, and probably no one will know in the future. Now we can restore the truth to the maximum extent according to Robert's novels and the information provided by other victims' families and people involved in the investigation. ".

In this film, the role of Linda Flynn was originally played by bijou phillips, but because she had to be remade later and Philip's schedule could not be adjusted, she had to be remade by clea duvall.

Director david fincher initially asked Gary Oldman to play detective Dave Tosher, but because Odeman wanted to continue playing Sirius in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, he had to give up Zodiac.
