Compliance explores the human
desire to obey authority regardless of religion or culture. The shocking part
about the movie is that it actually happened as it is based on real-life
events that took place in 2004 at a McDonalds in Kentucky. The story starts with a prank phone call in which a man posing as a police officer
manipulates a supervisor to sexually assault the 18-year old employee.

The New Yorker review of the movie saw it differently as it had this line "American movies are saturated in physical violence; this one is devoted to spiritual violence".
