The film is influenced by the classic western film noir thriller 'Bad Day at Black Rock' (1955),[http://www.tcm.com/thismonth/article/?cid=296106&rss=mrqe Pop Culture 101: 'Bad Day at Black Rock'], Turner Classic Movies.

Whilst 'Bad Day at Black Rock' tells the story of wounded World War II vet John J. MacReedy, 'Conspiracy' revolves around William "Spooky" MacPherson, a disabled special operations marine wounded during combat operations in Iraq. When MacPherson decides to visit a friend on a ranch in the southwest, he discovers that his friend has disappeared, and no one will acknowledge that he ever lived there.
The film was shot in Galisteo, New Mexico in 30 days from April 19 to May 19, 2007.
