Drama98 min
At Yale in 1961, psychologist Stanley Milgram sets out to measure obedience with an experiment that asks ordinary people to believe they are delivering escalating electric shocks to a man in another room. Peter Sarsgaard is Milgram, designing and defending a study that quickly moves beyond the lab. Jim Gaffigan is the affable stranger whose pleas become central to the test, while Adolf Eichmann’s televised trial hangs over the culture outside. As Milgram’s findings make him famous and controversial, Winona Ryder’s Sasha, his wife, remains at his side while questions about ethics, authority, and manipulation gather around the work.
