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” features an extraordinary cast of rising young actors, including Ezra Miller, Olivia Thirlby, Tye Sheridan, Keir Gilchrist, Michael Angarano, and Thomas Mann.

How many fictionalized accounts of that experiment do we need?

I know right? 3 whole movies about 1 thing, how unheard of. Plus there is no such thing as not watching something so I need to watch all of them. Damn you Hollywood.

The one with Adrian Brody and Forest Whittaker was good.

If you haven't read it Jon Ronson's book "So You've Been Publicly Shamed". The book talks about the true story about the study and the people involved. The guy who Michael Angarano is based on admitted to faking it and putting on a character but because the story got so popular he just kept it under wraps.

I wonder if Hollywood will have the courage to tackle the CIA torture experiments from the 1950s ?

Wait, i do not wonder.
