Haunted by his past, WWII veteran and drifter Freddie Quell (Phoenix) crosses paths with a mysterious movement called The Cause, led by Lancaster Dodd (Hoffman), aka "The Master," and his wife Peggy (Adams). Their twisted relationship is the core of this film. Will Freddie be able to outrun his past? Will The Cause help or hurt him? Can this tortured, violent creature be civilized? Or is man, after all, just a dirty animal? (Gary Reber)
