Steve begynner på ny skole og får problemer med å tilpasse seg. Ikke for at det er noe galt med Steve, men mer fordi de fleste andre elevene er så utrolig pliktoppfyllende. Steve innser snart at dette ikke er en ren tilfeldighet. Og ganske riktig, Steve blir advart av Gavin Strick (Nick Stahl) at disse "englebarna" slett ikke har gode hensikter. Sammen med Rachel Wagner (Katie Holmes) setter Steve i gang en etterforskning av "Blue Ribbons", noe som snart fører dem på sporet av den mystiske skolepsykiateren doktor Caldicott (Bruce Greenwood)...

A young wife of a sworn macho becomes tired of his domineering behavior and sets out to change him for good.

An intensive psychological test by Professor Philip Zimbardo in 1971 saw US students volunteer to play prisoners and guards in an bid to examine the nature of good and evil. Within five days, four prisoners had broken down and another was on hunger strike. This film, containing strong language, reveals why the test was abandoned after less than a week.

Other than Freud, no psychologist has been so discussed, critiqued and, at times, maligned as B.F. Skinner. Using both archival and new film, this video takes a new look at who the man was, and what he really said in his twenty books. Like other thinkers who broke new ground, Skinner had to invent his own vocabulary to describe the phenomena he was studying. In this film, his terms are introduced in context so the student understands how they were intended to be used and the research that produced them. The film lays to rest some myths and credits Skinner with contributions not often attributed to him. Understanding the complex man behind his work enables students to better evaluate the importance and relevance of the work he inspired. Murray Sidman, Ph.D., colleague and thoughtful practitioner of behavioral analysis, narrates.
