New Poster And Trailer For EXPERIMENTER Stars Peter Sarsgaard and Winona Ryder

Watch the new trailer for director Michael Almereyda’s EXPERIMENTER starring Winona Ryder and Peter Sarsgaard.

Yale University, 1961. Stanley Milgram (Peter Sarsgaard) designs a psychology experiment that still resonates to this day, in which people think they’re delivering painful electric shocks to an affable stranger (Jim Gaffigan) strapped into a chair in another room.

Despite his pleads for mercy, the majority of subjects don’t stop the experiment, administering what they think is a near-fatal electric shock, simply because they’ve been told to do so.

With Nazi Adolf Eichmann’s trial airing in living rooms across America, Milgram strikes a nerve in popular culture and the scientific community with his exploration into people’s tendency to comply with authority. Celebrated in some circles, he is also accused of being a deceptive, manipulative monster, but his wife Sasha (Winona Ryder) stands by him through it all.

EXPERIMENTER invites us inside Milgram’s whirring mind in this bracing portrait of a brilliant man whose conscience and creative spirit continues to be resonant, poignant, and inspirational.

This fascinating film also stars Kellan Lutz, Taryn Manning, John Leguizamo, Edoardo Ballerini, Dennis Hyasbert, Danny Abeckaser, and Anton Yelchin.

Magnolia Pictures will release EXPERIMENTER in Theaters, On Demand, and on iTunes October 16, 2015.
