The Experiment

About The Experiment

20 volunteers agree to take part in a seemingly well-paid experiment advertised by the university. It is supposed to be about aggressive behavior in an artificial prison situation.

Oliver Hirschbiegel's The Experiment is a 2001 thriller film. Its themes are audacious, awestruck, journalist, and experiment.

Moritz Bleibtreu appears as Tarek Fahd, Prisoner Nr. 77, Christian Berkel as Robert Steinhoff, Prisoner Nr. 38, Justus von Dohnányi as Berus, and Maren Eggert as Dora. Released in March 2001, it runs 120 minutes.

The screenplay is by Christoph Darnstädt and Don Bohlinger. Produced by Seven Pictures. It is adapted from a novel.

Apocalypto, The Dare, and Three Summers make useful companions to The Experiment, all filed under absurd and angry. TMDB voters put it at 7.4 out of 10 across 1,291 votes.
