Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Zodiac is a 2007 film directed by David Fincher, based on the 1986 book of the same name by Robert Graysmith, chronicling one of the most infamous criminal cases in American history — the manhunt for the Zodiac Killer, who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area during the late sixties and early seventies — from the perspective of three main characters: Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal), a cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle who becomes obsessed with the Zodiac. David Toschi (Mark Ruffalo), a renowned San Francisco homicide detective who is put on the case indefinitely. Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr.), a Chronicle reporter on the Zodiac.The main problem catching the killer is that none of the agencies and jurisdictions investigatingnote Vallejo Police Department, San Francisco Police Department, Napa County Sheriff's Department, Solano County Sheriff's Department, and California Department Of Justice have all of the same information, and often the evidence seems to contradict itself. Graysmith eventually takes it upon himself to go between them and solve the crimes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Fincher and co. spent 18 months meticulously researching the Zodiac cases for the film, as he felt a burden of responsibility to dispel the mythical stature of the killer by separating fact from fiction, and even got the Zodiac Killer's only surviving victims as consultants for the film.

Adult Fear: Graysmith starts out fearing for the life of his children, including pulling one off a bus after Zodiac threatens to shoot out a school bus. Later subverted when he continues his investigation despite receiving threatening calls to his house and, in a darkly humorous moment, involving his grade-school age kids in the investigation. The mother and her baby hitching a ride with the Zodiac Killer and then learning who he is, and then hearing that he'll kill her after throwing her baby out a window, is deeply unsettling and indicates exactly why hitchhiking is mostly a thing of the past.
