The film is adapted from the 1961 Yale University power obedience electric shock experiment. The Experimenter raised the punishment voltage uncontrollably, and the voltage has already exceeded the limit of human beings. As long as every ordinary person obeys the rules, he may unconsciously become a killer, and Professor Stanley Milgram began to doubt human nature. Ordinary people are just puppets manipulated by others. After thousands of experiments, 65% of the people chose the punishment of pressing 450 volts mercilessly, and nearly 35% chose to be dissatisfied with the laboratory staff, but finally chose to compromise. This data surprised the professor, so he began to doubt the scientificity of the experiment. After improving the method, he experimented again, but got almost the same result. He learned from it that human nature is actually like this.
