Spiderhead
How far would you go to fix human nature?
Directed by Joseph Kosinski
Produced by Grand Electric, The New Yorker Studios
A cerebral psychological thriller that uses a dystopian prison setting and emotion-altering drugs to interrogate free will, consent, and the ethics of human modification.
A prisoner in a state-of-the-art penitentiary begins to question the purpose of the emotion-controlling drugs he's testing for a pharmaceutical genius.
