The Stanford Prison Experiment
What happens when a college psych study goes shockingly wrong? In this tense, psychological thriller based on the notorious true story, Billy Crudup stars as Stanford University professor Dr. Philip Zimbardo, who, in 1971, cast 24 student volunteers as prisoners and guards in a simulated jail to examine the source of abusive behavior in the prison system. The results astonished the world, as participants went from middle-class undergrads to drunk-with-power sadists and submissive victims in just a few days. Winner of two awards at the Sundance Film Festival, including Best Screenplay, and created with the close participation of Dr. Zimbardo himself, 'The Stanford Prison Experiment' is a chilling, edge-of-your-seat thriller about the dark side of power and the effects of imprisonment. Featuring an extraordinary cast of rising young actors, including Ezra Miller, Olivia Thirlby, Tye Sheridan, Keir Gilchrist, Michael Angarano, and Thomas Mann.

Important and disturbing @Home Sick With a Blanket
You can't get through this movie without being affected. Watch all the way to the end and ponder what the guard says. Nobody stopped him. Nobody. Amazing acting and compelling story. This movie pulls you in and won't let you go.
Amazing @SamanthaJewel
I had learned of this experiment while in college and was excited to hear there was a movie being made. I had to wait 2 and half years for it. I saw the screening with the director and actors and I have to say this movie was wonderfully done. Ezra miller is going to be around for a long time if he makes the choice to be. You really feel as if you are there suffering with these kids.
