For two weeks, 20 male participants are hired to play prisoner and guards in a prison. The "prisoner" have to follow seemingly mild rules, and the "guards" are told to retain order without using physical violence.
The movie is based on the infamous "Stanford Prison Experiment" conducted in 1971. A makeshift prison is set up in a research lab, complete with cells, bar and surveillance cameras. For two weeks 20 male participants are hired to play prisoner and guards. The 'prisoner' are locked up and have to follow seemingly mild rules, and the 'guards' are told simply to retain order without using physical violence. Everybody is free to quit at any time, thereby forfeiting payment. In the beginning the mood between both groups is inecure and rather emphatic. But soon quarrels arise and the warden employ ever more drastic sanction to confirm their authority.
