Based on the novella by Stephen King, Apt Pupil stars Brad Renfro as teenager Todd Bowden who, quite by accident, discovers that an elderly neighbor is a wanted Nazi war criminal. After confronting Kurt Dussander (McKellen) with his knowledge, Todd explains he will not expose him to the authorities if he agrees to tell him the stories of what went on in the death camps—the stuff they won't tell you in school—with chilling consequences for both of them. A chilling tale. (Gary Reber)
