This fictional drama, set in present-day Berlin, takes its inspiration from the famous and controversial 1971 Stanford Prison Experimentwhere test subjects were paid $15 a day to role-play either prisoners orprison guards in a simulated prison created by university researchers. On the sixth day the lead psychologist terminated the planned two-week experiment due to escalating abuses by “prison guards” and concernsover the morality of the experiment itself. This film diverges from thereal-life experiment in several important ways, but its depiction of the initialset-up of the experiment parallels the 1971 experiment quite closely.

This film is rated R for disturbing scenes, strong language and violence.
