The Conspiracy is a 2012 Canadian conspiracy thriller mockumentary film written and directed by Christopher MacBride and features actors Aaron Poole, James Gilbert, Alan C. Peterson, and Julian Richings. It tells the story of two documentary filmmakers who set out to create a film about a conspiracy theorist named Terrance G who disappears during the making of the film. The two filmmakers are subsequently drawn into the world of a global syndicate whose aims and machinations are clouded in secrecy.

Aarons research leads them to the Tarsus Club, a shadowy nongovernmental organization and ancient secret society that has meetings just prior to major global shifts. The only evidence of its existence is a single article written in Time magazine by Mark Tucker. Unable to find any information about Tucker, they turn to the Internet and solicit information from the public. A man who claims to be Tucker eventually contacts them and requests that they remove all their information from the Internet in return for an interview. Tucker explains that his editor butchered the article and converted it from an expose into a nonthreatening PR piece. The group worships Mithras, but little is known about their secretive ceremonies except that it involves the sacrifice of a bull. However, their influence on culture and society is farreaching. Tucker reveals that their secret handshake is the origin of handshakes in general.Tucker eventually contacts Aaron and Jim with news that he may be able to sneak them into an upcoming Tarsus Club meeting. Although apprehensive, the two filmmakers agree. Armed with hidden cameras, they document the initiation ceremony. When they are split, Aaron becomes worried for Jims safety and attempts to contact him, which draws the ire of the Tarsus Club. After threats to call security and veiled threats about his family, they reveal that they have brought Jims family to the mansion. Aaron, set loose with a bulls head mask, realizes that he is the sacrificial bull for the ceremony. He flees but is caught his hidden camera records their attack but does not show his ultimate fate. In an epilogue, members of the Tarsus Club edit the footage and perform a series of brief interviews. Jim disavows any wrongdoing by the Tarsus Club and theorizes that Aaron has joined Terrance. The Tarsus Club make a statement that reassures the world that they are not engaged in any conspiracies, though they advocate a benevolent one world government. ........
