The 2004 strip-search prank call scam at a Mount Washington, Kentucky McDonald's remains one of the most chilling cases of deceptive coercion in modern history. The victim, Louise Ogborn, was a young employee subjected to a hours-long ordeal orchestrated by a caller posing as a police officer.
Directed by Craig Zobel, this independent thriller dramatizes the events of the Mount Washington scam with high fidelity to the actual transcripts. The film grossed critical acclaim for its claustrophobic and unblinking look at human compliance.
