Experimenter (2015)

Yale University, 1961. Stanley Milgram designs a psychology experiment that still resonates to this day, in which people think they�re delivering painful electric shocks to an affable stranger strapped into a chair in another room. Despite his pleads for mercy, the majority of subjects don�t stop the experiment, administering what they think is a near-fatal electric shock, simply because they�ve been told to do so. With Nazi Adolf Eichmann�s trial airing in living rooms across America, Milgram strikes a nerve in popular culture and the scientific community with his exploration into people�s tendency to comply with authority. Celebrated in some circles, he is also accused of being a deceptive, manipulative monster, but his wife Sasha stands by him through it all.
