Chinatown is a 1974 American neo-noir mystery film, directed by Roman Polanski from a screenplay by Robert Towne, starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway.
The film was inspired by the California Water Wars, a series of disputes over southern California water at the beginning of the 20th century, by which Los Angeles interests secured water rights in the Owens Valley.

The Robert Evans production, a Paramount Pictures release, was the
director's last film in the United States and features many elements of film noir, particularly a multi-layered story that is part
mystery and part psychological drama.
