The Mind Benders

Dirk Bogarde, stars in this taut psychological drama as Dr Longman, the scientist who chooses a perilous method of clearing his friends name- risking his family, his livelihood and even his sanity.

In a desperate attempt to prove that a late colleague was innocent of treason, a young scientist undergoes an experiment in which his five senses are reduced to nil. Dr Longman, after a long period of isolation which he is suspended in a tank of water four hour after hour, vanished into a world of his own and is 'persuaded' to change his most fundamental beliefs. The direction that this strange personality takes and the frightening glimpses into experiments actually undertaken combine to make 'the Mind Benders' a startling human drama.
