"In 1961, social psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted the ""obedience experiments"" at Yale University. The experiments observed the responses of ordinary people asked to send harmful electrical shocks to a stranger. Despite pleadings from the person they were shocking, 65 percent of subjects obeyed commands from a lab-coated authority figure to deliver potentially fatal currents. EXPERIMENTER invites us inside Milgram’s whirring mind, beginning with his obedience research and wending a path to uncover how inner obsessions and the times in which he lived shaped a parade of human behavior inquiries. Starring: Peter Saarsgard, Winona Ryder, Jim Gaffigan, Kellan Lutz, Dennis Haysbert, Taryn Manning, and John Leguizamo."
