I'm sure there are many.... but if I understand the question, off the top I can think of Strange Days (1994) with Ralph Fiennes, The Fifth Element (1997) with Bruce Willis, and if I recall (ha ha) Total Recall and the Terminator movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger ? Sorry none of these is recondite - and the conspiracy is not necessarily the author/cause of the sci fi element, in each - sometimes the conspirators just use the available, futuristic technology. Anyway, hope mention of these few helps.
