Straight & Narrow

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Outer Limits: Season Two: Straight & Narrow

Rusty Dobson has always been a problem child. His single mom decides to send him to the Milgram Academy, an ultra-strict private school that has produced some of the nation's top business and political leaders. What Rusty's mom doesn't know--and what Rusty finds out the hard way--is that Milgram doesn't just build the leaders of tomorrow, it controls them. The academy installs small computer chips in the student's brains, turning them into blindly loyal servants of the academy and the Committee, a shadowy body that controls the project. Thanks to a malfunctioning chip, Rusty has eluded their control so far, but can he escape from this prison of the mind?

Rusty and another immune attendant discuss the inescapable and conspiratorial nature of the school allegedly promoting the course of the "straight and narrow." The two witness firsthand the odious schemes of various activities, such as an assassination plot for a large company, whose well-supported Presidential nominee promises and intends to quite beneficially compensate the large company for his making the election. With the determination and tenacity to flee from the school, unfortunately without his newfound, equally non-susceptible cater-cousin (i.e., the friend had undergone an operation that rendered his immunity), Rusty seeks to obviate the assassination, only to be hauled away by two policemen (alumni of the same school) and observe his obviously brainwashed friend commit the assassination.

Saw this ending coming a mile off.

Villains win again.
