A Clockwork Orange

In a dystopian future Britain, charismatic delinquent Alex leads his gang, the 'droogs', on nightly rampages of 'ultra-violence.' After a botched robbery leads to his arrest, Alex volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy to cure his violent tendencies. The controversial treatment proves effective but leaves him vulnerable and unable to defend himself against the very society he once terrorized.
