Over the past several decades, many movies and television productions with a conspiracy theory theme have appeared, and they now constitute an important part of American popular culture history. Arnold (liberal arts, Montserrat College of Art, Beverly, Massachusetts) presents an historical examination of this phenomenon in an effort to understand how and why this has happened, and to explore its significance. Following an introductory overview of the evolution of conspiracy theory in film and television and what it says about American life and politics, subsequent chapters trace the ways that screen media have both reflected and shaped the cultural milieu in which traumatic events and political controversies have been interpreted with increasing cynicism, from the The Red Menace in 1949 through recent treatments of 9/11. Academic but accessible to the general reader. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
