Released in cinemas on 10th June 2016 THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT is now being made available on Digital Download from 13th June and on Blu-ray™ and DVD from 27th June. Based on the notorious 1971 psychological study by Stanford University professor Dr Philip Zimbardo, the film depicts one of the most disturbing landmarks in the history of Psychology

Starring an ensemble cast that includes Ezra Miller (We Need To Talk About Kevin, The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Tye Sheridan (Mud, Dark Places) and Olivia Thirlby (Juno, No Strings Attached), the lead role sees Billy Crudup (Spotlight, Watchmen) star as professor Zimbardo himself. The experiment is simply - 24 student volunteers are handed the roles of prisoners and guards in a simulated jail to examine the source of abusive behaviour in the prison system. The results astonished the world, as participants went from middle-class undergrads to drunk-with- power sadists and submissive victims in just a few short days.

Winner of two awards at the Sundance Film Festival, including Best Screenplay, THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT is a chilling, edge-of-your seat thriller filled with claustrophobic intensity, exploring the dark side of power and the effects of imprisonment.
