young and upcoming psychiatrist Dr Theo Calder is conducting a therapy session with a female patient his Professor Dr Ben halding along with several students are watching this session from a nearby room Theo carefully listens to his patient and instead of Simply diagnosing the problem he tries to befriend her this way he gains access to the patient's perspective and understands her suffering even better eventually he gets her to realize that she might be suffering from some sort of mental illness and that he can be of help it is obvious that Theo is an extremely intelligent and
resourceful psychiatrist after the session Dr Ben hands Theo his new task get an evaluation of Ethan Powell who is currently being flown to the US it is revealed that Ethan had gone missing in the Ugandan forests 2 years ago he is currently under arrest for the murder of two Park Rangers sometime later the US state agents land at the Miami International Airport along with Ethan they take him straight to a holding room where criminals who have been extradited are kept everything seems to be going according to protocol until the door of the holding room doesn't
open none of the agents have the key and one officer tries to forcefully unlock the door this sets off an alarm which causes confusion among everyone unbeknownst to them the loud noise begins to irritate Ethan he has stayed in the jungle for the past 2 years in peace and Tranquility since the alarm noise is very sharp Ethan cannot bear it he thus pushes a few guards and runs away from the spot soon the news is relayed to the security at the airport and several cops try to stop him from fleeing but Ethan is too dextrous
with his movements he's been training with the monkeys and Dodges everyone in his path when the cops eventually Corner him Ethan begins to beat anyone he can get his hands on he only stops when he gets a glimpse of his daughter Liv who had been waiting for his arrival in the airport's loung Ethan is then subdued by several cops and taken into custody back at the University of Miami Theo has been doing some research on Ethan's case it is revealed that the Anthropologist was reported to be walking and living among the mountain gorillas oh in
virunga Forest Uganda he was captured by the local authorities after killing two Park Rangers and put into an African prison for a year ever since that incident Ethan hasn't uttered a word to anyone the US authorities have given Ethan a 30-day evaluation period before he is presented in court hence Theo convinces his senior to get him the jurisdiction of that evaluation period on the other hand Ethan is now being kept at Harmony Bay Correctional Facility where several mentally challenged criminals are awaiting their psychological examinations the facility has a weird system where the prisoners are given
a card each day the person who gets the ace of diamonds is allowed to spend 30 minutes in the fresh air however a big muscular prisoner named Trey bullies who ever has got the card and snatches the fresh air time for himself the following day Theo arrives at Harmony Bay and is informed about his duties turns out he has been given the full jurisdiction of Ethan's 30-day evaluation period under one condition Theo will have to work as a temporary staff in the prison's psychiatric Department he begrudgingly agrees to the conditions and sets up a meeting
with Ethan shortly afterwards Theo has his first session with the Anthropologist in an empty storage room there are two guards present there who give Theo the rules to be followed during the process he cannot give or take any unauthorized object from The Prisoner and is not allowed to come too close either shortly after Theo takes out his bag so that the guards can see the things he will use during the session he then starts a tape recorder before handing over a paper and pencil to Ethan initially the interview goes smoothly as Theo uses all his
charm and intelligence to form a connection with his patient he tells Ethan that he can stay silent all he wants during the rest of the day today but when they are sitting down for these sessions it is an opportunity to pour out his feelings Theo then slides over the pencil and paper towards his patient before asking a few introductory questions this is when things begin to go bad as the prison guards due to the nature of their job become more and more concerned when Ethan reaches across the table to give back the pencil the guards
see this as a dangerous act they quickly jump on Ethan and subdue him with ferocious intensity this act enrages Theo so he Chast izes the guards and terminates the first session immediately later Theo gets to know that the psychiatric patients at Harmony Bay are injected with an extremely high quantity of meds he complains to the warden about this rough treatment and asks for the dosages to be brought down however the warden doesn't take him seriously and brushes off his requests after a while the prison's Chief guard distributes the cards to all patients and Ethan gets
the ace of diamonds in his excitement Ethan says lunchtime around arrives and all the psychiatric patients Gather in the gymnasium as usual the big bully Trey arrives and threatens everyone to show their cards he eventually makes his way to Ethan who is quietly sitting with his eyes facing downwards Trey gives him a push and asks to see his card but the ladder doesn't budge enraged the bully smacks Ethan across the face and tries to check his pocket but this is when our hero Springs into action and knocks the bully down he then strangles Trey but
before anything unfortunate can happen the guards interview Ethan is about to be sent back to his cell when the other inmates point out that he has the Ace of Diamonds the Anthropologist is thus given 30 minutes of fresh air in the prison's Park turns out this park is nothing more than a small enclosed piece of land surrounded by tall walls on the other hand Theo goes to Ethan's house to dig out personal information about his patient he takes a picture of the house before entering where he is warmly greeted by Liv the two then begin
to have a conversation about Ethan and his work Liv reveals that her father was always a workaholic who spent more time in the jungles of Africa than with his family classic Dad one year he invited her to visit his station in Uganda where they had a wonderful time together she took several pictures of her father as well as the herd of gorillas that he was tracking but despite their close Bond Ethan refused to come back home and eventually started neglecting his family upon hearing this Theo is shocked and he realizes that he has a complex
case on his hands the following day Theo returns to Harmony Bay with several pictures in his bag he shows them to Ethan during their session and asks him to identify the subjects these include the photo of Ethan's house in Miami his workstation in Uganda the gorillas he was tracking and a childhood photo of live Theo tells him that he has the opportunity to say something to his daughter to everyone's surprise Ethan finally speaks after not uttering a single word for more than 2 years he longingly holds Liv's photo and says goodbye an ecstatic Theo then
jumps on this opportunity and proposes a deal if he manages to cut the dosage of the psychiatric medication then Ethan will have to tell him about his work with the gorillas the latter agrees to the deal but doesn't return the photo of his daughter a few days later Theo returns to the correctional facility and starts his one-on-one sessions with Ethan this time the guards agree to leave them alone in the storage room Ethan then finally opens up about his work in Uganda he describes the environment around the virunga mountains where his base station was situated
bananas everywhere following this the movie cuts into a flashback we see a slightly younger Ethan hiking several miles to the area of a tribe of gorillas that he has been tracking for several years the beasts seem to know him as they are already used to seeing him lurking around even the trib's leader a giant silverback gorilla seems to have no problem with Ethan as the days passed by the Anthropologist becomes emotionally attached to these magnificent animals he stops going back to his base station and starts sleeping in the forest instead the tribe also seems to
accept him and the leader begins looking after Ethan like he's one of their own after this recounting of his initial work in Uganda Ethan abruptly calls for the session to end Theo allows him to leave and heads to the gymnasium where all the psychiatric patients are gathered there he sees mismanagement in the prison the fights the lack of staff and prisoners getting hurt Theo is so spooked by this that he runs away from the gymnasium a few days later he returns for another session with Ethan who is now off the unreasonable amounts of psychiatric meds
this brings out the anthropologist's real character an eloquent extremely knowledgeable but intimidating man he continues with his tales about the travel in vuna where he became a part of the mountain gorillas they accepted him and in return he learned the true meaning of Peace Ethan also saw the Havoc wrought by humans as several animals in the forest were poached by illegal Smugglers as time went by the anthropologist discarded all of his material belongings like a small sword binoculars and started Living just like the gorillas unfortunately the conversation takes a turn for the worse as Theo
changes the subject he asks why Ethan left his family and adopted the guillas as his own kin this question offends Ethan so much that he decides to terminate the whole session he asks the psychiatrist to leave but the latter insists on getting an answer for the question Theo even reminds Ethan that he is in charge here and he controls when the sessions end upon hearing this our hero grabs Theo and pushes him against the table with surprising ferocity the latter tries to free himself but the old man seems to be extremely strong even at that
age Ethan places duct tape on Theo's mouth surprisingly not Gorilla tape and doesn't let him speak he then says how this whole concept of control is simply an illusion if Theo was really in control he should have been able to leave the storage room whenever he wanted but he is now with the mercy of another man after saying this he eventually lets the psychiatrist go and removes the tape from his mouth the encounter leaves Theo greatly stunned and he wonders how Ethan has such an impeccable perspective on the idea of control as the days pass
by Theo begins to understand the anthropologist's perspective more and more it is Humanity's obsession with dominion over the entire earth and its organisms that has caused so much suffering to everyone if humans could simply stop playing God forsake the lust for control over everything they would be more free after gaining this insight into the mind of his patient Theo's entire objective shifts he now wants to know what led Ethan to murder those Park Rangers this information could potentially help the Anthropologist get a reduced sentence or even be free from potential jail time one day Theo
manages to get permission to take his patient to a nearby Wildlife Conservation Center turns out Ethan used to work here several years ago the two are left alone near a cage where a male silverback gorilla is kept for study the sight of this majestic beast being mentally and physically broken down due to captivity touches Ethan this seems like a bad idea finally after hiding his story for so long he agrees to recall the incident that led to the murders it is then revealed that a group of forest rangers had found Ethan's belongings that he had
discarded in the jungle several months ago they had then Tracked Down the gorillas and saw them surrounded ing the Anthropologist the Rangers unfortunately misunderstood the situation and began shooting the animals Ethan who by now had become a part of the tribe was incensed by the killing in a moment of blind rage he grabbed a nearby branch and brutally killed two Rangers before eventually getting subdued back in the present time Theo realizes that this testimony can help Ethan's case in the court if he can prove that the violence was caused due to a misunderstanding the old
man may walk free but it clearly wasn't a misunderstanding so I don't know what the goal is here unfortunately that night the chief guard beats one of the prisoners who cannot fight back or speak for himself Ethan watches this and is reminded of the time when his tribe of gorillas were shot dead by the Rangers he bursts out with anger and mercilessly beats the guard Ethan is about to finish him off but he is quickly separated by the other officials in the aftermath of this event Ethan's court hearing is cancelled and he is given a
lengthy sentence for assaulting on duty guard Theo who had grown extremely close to the Anthropologist later gets this news and is devastated he realizes that Ethan will never talk to humans once more and will spend the rest of his life in prison the following day Theo comes to the prison for a last ditch effort he wants Ethan to talk and put his side of the story in the court however the Anthropologist has gone back to being the expressionless and mute personality Theo gives up and thanks Ethan for teaching him how not to be controlled by
one's own Ambitions he then breaks down in tears and gives a final farewell to his friend unbeknownst to him Ethan doesn't plan on being captive in this prison he has actually managed to steal a pen from Theo in the next few weeks Ethan begins to dig out the cemented area around the locks of the gymnasiums window one day while the guards are busy separating two quarreling inmates he escapes through the broken window the movie comes to an end as he can be seen walking in the forests of virunga several days later how did he get
