Conspiracies are a common part of history. Technically, anytime two or more people make a plan to rob a bank, murder a rival, or throw a boxing match they are engaging in a conspiracy. Most crime films, however, are not seen as, “conspiracy movies.” That subgenre label is generally reserved for stories that involve political conspiracies.

In some cases, conspiracy movies can help the general public better understand the past and what is, or is not, possible in the real world. More often than not, however, these films feed off public paranoia and misconceptions of the real world, making viewers more inclined to believe false, “conspiracy theories” (e.g. vast, complex, secret plans, run by super powerful puppet masters who have a unity of purpose and a level of control over society that no one actually possesses).
