## Description

Kubrick turns Anthony Burgess' famous novel into a brutal and satirical morality tale, centered on Alex, who fights, robs, violates, and murders like a remorseless predator. Alex is arrested and imprisoned. He undergoes a gruesome procedure meant to make him "fit for society" again; functioning like a "clockwork orange," outwardly healthy and intact, but inwardly crippled and limited to reflexes.
