This movie is German film. I watched this film in psychology class. This film is based on true experiment done by Stanford University in 1971. This experiment was too much dangerous. So it ran only six day. The experiment was that experimental subjects were devided into two groups, which were prisonofficers and prisoners. At the biginning of this test, no problem occured. But gradually, there seemed changes in both groups. The officers treated prisoners with a heavy hand. And the prisoners did not fight backand obeyd them.One by one, the prisoners could not endure the test and became insane. So the unversity stopped this test on sixth day. This movie is based on this test, except climax. people get mad and try to kill each other in the climax scene. That was a kind of Holly Wood puttern though the film was made in Germany.
