Inspired by the Stanley Milgram obedience research, this TV movie
chronicles a psychology professor's study to determine why people,
such as the Nazi's, were willing to "just follow orders" and do
horrible things to others. Professor Stephen Turner leads students to
believe that they are applying increasingly painful electric shocks to
other subjects when they fail to perform a task correctly, and is
alarmed to see how much pain the students can be convinced to inflict
"in the name of science."
