Plots(1)
From the novella by acclaimed Horror Master, Stephen King, Apt Pupil is the story of Todd Bowden (Brad Renfro), a brilliant young student who discovers that an old man living in his hometown is actually a wanted Nazi war criminal. To satisfy Todd's curiosity and earn his silence, Kurt Dussander (Ian McKellen) reveals his secret past... but all too soon it becomes clear that Todd is not the one in control of this twisted psychological game and that if he lives through it, he will learn a very dangerous lesson. Also starring Bruce Davison, Ann Dowd, Joshua Jackson, David Schwimmer and Elias Koteas, Apt Pupil is a tension-filled study in the banality of evil - from the death camps of Germany to the suburbs of small-town America.
