A German scientist works on a way of quelling overly aggressive soldiers by developing implants that directly stimulate the pleasure centers of the brain. Christopher Walken (in his first feature film lead role) stars in this dark, psychological thriller as a G.I. sent to receive psychiatric help to cure his violent rage. When Walken is sent to a suspiciously half-empty hospital/country mansion he begins to unravel a mysterious project involving medical experiments on the human brain. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more horrific his discoveries become.
