Chinatown (1974)
Los Angeles in den 1930ern: Der Privatdetektiv Jake Gittes wird von Evelyn Mulwray, der Frau einer angesehenen Lokalgröße beauftragt, ihren Mann zu überwachen. Tatsächlich verschafft er ihr Fotos von ihrem Mann Hollis und einer jungen Frau. Die erscheinen bald darauf in einer Zeitung und Gittes muss feststellen, dass seine Auftraggeberin gar nicht die Frau des Opfers war, sondern eine Unbekannte. In seiner Ehre gekränkt macht Gittes weiter und sticht direkt in ein Wespennest rund um ein korruptes Bewässerungsprojekt in der Wüstenregion der Stadt. Als Mulwray ertrunken aufgefunden wird, wird die Angelegenheit immer mysteriöser. Drahtzieher der Affäre scheint ein gewisser Noah Cross zu sein und auch die junge Dame von den Fotos scheint eine große Rolle zu spielen …
