Synopsis
The Experiment (2010) is a psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM. A group of volunteers signs up for a paid study: some are locked away as prisoners, others handed batons as guards. Two weeks for a paycheck. Simple enough, they think.
The rules seem harmless until power and helplessness start rewriting who these men are. Adrien Brody's Travis lands on the prisoner side, while the mild-mannered Barris, played by Forest Whitaker, slips into a guard's uniform and discovers a cruelty he never knew was in him. Petty discipline curdles into abuse, humiliation piles up, and one day the line vanishes completely. Cameras record everything, yet no one stops the game.
Director Paul Scheuring reworks the notorious Stanford prison experiment run by Philip Zimbardo into a claustrophobic chamber drama about ordinary people sliding into violence. Cam Gigandet and Maggie Grace also feature. Stream The Experiment (2010) online on iFILM.
