"A provocative psychological drama." - NY Daily News

Oscar winner Sidney Poitier sizzles in an "electrifying role" (Show Business Illustrated) as a prison psychiatrist who clashes with a racist inmate (Bobby Darin) in this "explosive and provocative" (Citizen News) drama that "packs a powerful wallop" (LA Herald Examiner)!

A prison doctor is charged with treating a hate-filled young man who's been jailed for sedition. As he probes the patient's nightmares, the psychiatrist realizes the twisted visions mask a lust for violence. But the inmate has become a model prisoner, and unless the doctor can convince the officials that he's dangerous, he'll soon be back on the street.
