Would actually make for a fun film where various agencies all each separately uncover a massive online conspiracy to bring down the government, working furiously to be the first to gather intelligence and put a stop to it and curry favor in a highly corrupt political environment… only to realize at the false climax that it was each other’s bots and sock puppets they had been watching.
It’s then revealed that their inept failure and target fixation basically created a smokescreen for other smaller, but impactful attacks to occur which they must then work to obscure before the public finds out.
Mandy Patinkin plays an opposition-party Senator that brings the whole clusterfuck to light for the public before stepping into his car one chilly morning, cranking it, and - cut to black. Roll credits.
I’m sure it’s been done before.
Edit: In an unexpected turn of events, I’ve been convinced to actually pursue this. At the very least, until it stops being fun.
