About The Zodiac Killer
The San Francisco area is beset by a series of seemingly random murders without motive or pattern. The police are taunted by phone calls and letters. Could the maniac be the violent truck driver, or the seemingly mild-mannered mailman, or even a cop?
Directed by Tom Hanson, The Zodiac Killer leans on a strong ensemble — Hal Reed, Bob Jones, Ray Lynch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1971.
