2.)  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Parallax View is a 1974 American thriller film directed by Alan J. Pakula and starring Warren Beatty. The film was adapted by David Giler, Lorenzo Semple Jr and an uncredited Robert Towne from the 1970 novel by Loren Singer. The story concerns a reporter’s dangerous investigation into an obscure organization, the Parallax Corporation, whose primary, but not ostensible, enterprise is political assassination.

PLOT:  TV newswoman Lee Carter  is one of many witnesses to the public assassination of presidential candidate Senator Charles Carroll atop the Seattle Space Needle. A waiter armed with a revolver is chased but falls to his death. Meanwhile, a second waiter, also armed with a gun, leaves the crime scene unnoticed. A special committee decides that the assassination was the work of a lone gunman.

Three years later, Carter visits her former boyfriend and colleague, newspaper reporter Joe Frady.   Lee tells Frady that she feels there is more to the killing – that six of the witnesses to Carroll’s assassination have died and she fears she will be next. Frady does not take her seriously. Not long afterwards, Lee is found dead and her death is judged by the police to be either a voluntary or accidental drug overdose…

…I’m not going to tell you the remainder of the plot because, unlike Wikipedia, I don’t want to spoil the ending for you. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
