It's the final days of the Vietnam War and the Department of Defense has set up a mentaI hospital for soldiers in a remote castIe. To all appearances, the patients are running the asyIum. But nothing here is quite what it seems. A new psychiatrist (Stacy Keach) arrives, assigned to determine if any of the vets are faking mental ilIness. Of particular interest to him is a distraught NASA astronaut (Scott WiIson) who aborted his mission during the final countdown. Mixing dark humor with drama, writer-director WilIiam Peter Blatty tackles some intriguing metaphysical issues. What is insanity in a worId gone mad? Is man capable of self-sacrifice? ls there a God or an afterIife? The resuIt is a film that is by turns hiIarious yet suspensefuI and moving. |
