Audience members were asked to write their answers to "I think the Zodiac kills because. The opening night screening took place at San Francisco's RKO Golden Gate Theater on April 7, 1971. In a 2012 interview and again in a 2017 interview, Hanson stated that the production of the film was motivated by an elaborate plot to catch the killer, who, Hanson reasoned, would not be able to resist attending the film's premier. The Zodiac Killer brags about how he will never be caught and taunts the viewers of the film telling them that other monsters like himself lurk out there, able to blend in with normal people to avoid being caught while doing evil. The film ends with a voice over monologue as the Zodiac Killer goes about his normal routine. On his way out, the Zodiac Killer takes out his anger on two patients, wounding one and killing another. The staff of the facility ask the Zodiac Killer to leave, claiming his presence "upsets" his father. The Zodiac Killer begs for his father to talk to him only to be rebuked. It is implied that the Zodiac's father is mentally ill and has to be restrained 24/7 and refuses any verbal communication with his son. The Zodiac Killer visits his father in a hospital, where he is kept in a caged room on the top floor. The final act of the film attempts to provide a motive for the crime. The film also portrays him as a Satanist and one who actively kills those in his personal life who mock him or are mean to him in his normal life or who he hears mock his alter-ego. The death of his friend causes him to phone the police to announce that the man they killed was not the Zodiac Killer, then goes about a major killing spree culminating in him murdering a pair of lovers in a park. The second act of the film follows the real Zodiac Killer, who the film positions as having a day job as a much put upon postal carrier. The police shoot him dead as he falls into a nearby pool. In a fit of madness, he declares himself the Zodiac Killer and lets his daughter go in order to flee. Taking his daughter hostage, the police are called and as he tries to escape, Grover sees the day's paper laying on the front steps announcing another murder by the Zodiac Killer. Grover eventually has a nervous breakdown due to the upheaval in his life caused by his divorce, as he is denied the right to visit his daughter when he makes a surprise visit to his ex-wife.

The film follows the killer (whose identity as the Zodiac Killer is not revealed until the end of the first act of the film) and a friend, Grover (a drunk, toupée-wearing truck driver who is divorced from his wife and in financial trouble from his divorce) as they meet and go about their normal day. The film is a highly fictionalized telling of a month in the life of the Zodiac Killer (played by Hal Reed).
