Travis (Adrien Brody), a pacifist who just recently lost his job working at a retirement home. His girlfriend, Bay (Maggie Grace), is traveling to India for some good will work, giving Travis more of an incentive to find money fast on top of paying the rent. When a vague newspaper ad offers $10,000 to be part of a two-week research study, Travis leaps at the opportunity.

He's not alone in this. A timid, devout Catholic named Barris (Forest Whitaker) still lives with his mother and is taking part in this experiment to help pay for her recent hospital treatments. They and the other participants arrive at a prison furnished just for them and are given strict guidelines about how the experiment will work. Split into two groups, prisoners and wardens, they're warned that any failure to follow rules and keep order will result in termination of the whole project, and no one will receive their wages. As they spend more and more time in their location, the volunteers begin to slip into their roles a little too convincingly.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK

The Story:
The year is 2003. As prohibitively expensive technology became affordable to the masses and the internet made it easy to stay in touch with people who were halfway across the world, Harvard undergrad and computer programming wizard Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) launched a website with the potential to alter the very fabric of our society. At the time, Zuckerberg was just six years away from making his first million. But his hearty payday would come at a high price, because despite all of Zuckerberg's wealth and success, his personal life began to suffer as he became marred in legal disputes, and discovered that many of the 500 million people he had friended during his rise to the top were eager to see him fall.

Chief among that growing list of detractors was Zuckerberg's former college friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), whose generous financial contributions to Facebook served as the seed that helped the company to sprout. And some might argue that Zuckerberg's bold venture wouldn't have evolved into the cultural juggernaut that it ultimately became had Napster founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) not spread the word about Facebook to the venture capitalists from Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, the Winklevoss twins (Arnie Hammer and Josh Pence) engage Zuckerberg in a fierce courtroom battle for ownership of Facebook that left many suspecting the young entrepreneur may have let his greed eclipse his better judgment.
