Shadow Conspiracy is a 1997 American political thriller film starring Charlie Sheen, Donald Sutherland, Linda Hamilton and Sam Waterston. It was the final film directed by George P. Cosmatos, who died in 2005. The film was poorly received by critics and was released on DVD in the United States in November 2003 by Buena Vista Home Entertainment.
Set in Washington, this film documents an attempted power grab by White House Chief of Staff Jacob Conrad (Donald Sutherland). Bobby Bishop (Charlie Sheen) is a special aide to the President of the United States (Sam Waterston) who finds out about a plot to assassinate the President from a former professor (Theodore Bikel). Bobby's old professor is murdered shortly thereafter and Bobby is left to try to uncover the conspiracy on his own. He recruits his journalist friend Amanda Givens (Linda Hamilton) to help him uncover the mystery and stop the assassination.
Shadow Conspiracy was filmed in 19 days, with most of the principal photography taking place in Richmond, Virginia, Georgetown, Washington and Baltimore, Maryland.
Shadow Conspiracy received negative reviews from critics, with Rotten Tomatoes giving the film a 0% rating. The film did not fare well at the box office, grossing a little over $2 million domestically.
