- Synopsis
- Theo Caulder (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) is an ambitious psychiatrist who has been asked by his mentor Ben Hillard (Donald Sutherland) to evaluate the case of legendary anthropologist and primatologist Ethan Powell (Anthony Hopkins). Powell- a highly educated man who holds an ominous secret in his past- is currently being held captive in a maximum security prison for the critically insane. In an attempt to understand the actions of this headline-gripping madman, Caulder elicits the aid of Powell's estranged daughter, Lyn. Risking his career and his life, Caulder's ambition drives him to find the truth, regardless of the cost. Both men become psychologically connected as their relationship changes from psychiartrist and prisoner to student and teacher.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A perfect example of how solid directing and good acting can almost redeem a derivative story."
-
"A mushy-headed, unintentionally funny inspirational drama that plays like a clumsy attempt to crossbreed The Shawshank Redemption and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest."
-
"A sloppily structured, snoozily paced psychodrama about living in harmony with nature and all the rest of that tree-hugging hooey."
-
"There's plenty of solid, intelligent content here to stir the mind and heart, assuming you're able to overlook the distinctly patronizing presentation."
