Part 5/7:
Throughout the film, the characters face the outcomes of their choices. For instance, Benjy, a fellow participant, suffers from health issues exacerbated by the conditions inside the prison, leading to tragic consequences that exemplify real-world implications of experiments like this. The guards increasingly blur the lines between their roles and their humanity, as Michael becomes particularly consumed by his newfound power.
By the fifth day, frustration reaches a boiling point, with Travis and his fellow prisoners attempting to fight back. However, the consequences of their actions lead to deeper divisions and physical violence—drawing stark contrasts between the idealistic notions of humanity and the darker, instinctual drive for survival and dominance.
