Today I asked Grok (X ai) if the following X post by Owen Shroyer was true and the response I got is below…

💥 Grok: Yes, the details you described are accurate to the plot of the 1998 thriller Snake Eyes, directed by Brian De Palma and starring Nicolas Cage as Detective Rick Santoro. Here’s a breakdown of how it aligns, based on the film’s established storyline:

Key Plot Elements Matching Your Description

The Shooting and Setting: The assassination occurs during a high-stakes heavyweight boxing match at a packed Atlantic City arena (the fictional “Atlantic City Convention Center”), attended by thousands. U.S. Secretary of Defense Charles Kirkland (played by Joel Fabiani) is shot in the neck from a distance by a sniper while seated ringside. The film opens with a famous 13-minute Steadicam sequence capturing the chaos in real time as the arena locks down.
Date: The event is explicitly set on September 10th, as shown on promotional billboards and in the narrative timeline within the film.
Official Narrative and Motive: The initial investigation pins the killing on a Palestinian terrorist sniper named Tariq Ben Rabat (or Tarik Ben Rabat in some summaries), who fires the fatal shot. The stated motive is Rabat’s opposition to U.S. weapons shipments and military aid to Israel, tied to a larger conspiracy involving a rigged test of the “AirGuard” missile defense system. This deal, backed by a corrupt defense contractor (arena owner Gilbert Powell), is seen as bolstering Israel’s defenses at the expense of Palestinian interests.
The Patsy and Larger Plot: The sniper (Rabat) is a fall guy, manipulated as part of a broader scheme to sabotage the arms deal and cover up corruption. The real orchestrator is Santoro’s childhood friend and U.S. Navy Commander Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise), who confesses his involvement midway through the film. Dunne’s true motive stems from guilt over a past U.S. naval incident (abandoning sailors during an Iraqi missile attack on the USS Renville) and a desire to halt further arms proliferation that could lead to more such tragedies. A boxer named Lincoln Tyler (the heavyweight champion, nicknamed “Tyler the Executioner”) provides an unwitting distraction by taking a dive in the match, aiding the timing of the shot—though he’s not the shooter or directly complicit.

Context and Additional Notes

The film unfolds as a conspiracy thriller, with Santoro unraveling the layers amid betrayals, a mysterious witness (Julia Costello, played by Carla Gugino), and themes of corruption in government and defense contracting. It’s not a documentary or based on real events but draws on 1990s geopolitical tensions, including U.S.-Israel relations.These eerie parallels have gone viral recently due to coincidences with real-world events (like the September 10, 2025, shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah Valley University event, where the suspect is reportedly named Tyler Robinson and initial reports cited anti-Israel motives), sparking “predictive programming” theories online. However, the movie’s plot predates those by decades, and no evidence links the two beyond fan speculation.If you’re asking in reference to current news or a specific theory, feel free to provide more details for deeper clarification!
