Not only an accurate portrayal of the famous college experiment, but an excellent viewing experience.

What happens to us when we're given power over others? Are we naturally corrupt... or can we be corrupted? That's only a couple of questions raised by the experiment itself, which ends up clarifying just how easy it is for humans to become less than human in any given situation. What is discovered is that people, when given too much authority, will naturally abuse it.

A very valuable experiment in not only the police force, but for abusive relationships in general, and the brutality of man when he believes he is superior to others.
