During the late 1960’s and early 70’s Northern California was terrorized by a mysterious serial killer who was only known by the name, Zodiac. Letters and messages received by the police and California newspapers are the only clues to the killer’s identity. In David Fincher’s Zodiac, Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., and Mark Ruffalo star as a cartoonist, writer, and detective respectively. The film follows the downward spiral of each character in their search to discover the identify of the killer.
