Instinct

Theo Caulder (Academy Award Winner Cuba Gooding, Jr.) is an ambitious psychiatric who has been asked by his mentor Ben Hillard (Donald Sutherland) to evaluate the case of legendary anthropologist and primatologist Ethan Powell (Academy Award Winner Anthony Hopkins). Powell- a highly educated man who holds an ominous secret in his past- is currently being held captive in a maximum security prison for the critically insane. In an attempt to understand the actions of this headline-gripping madman, Caulder elicits the aid of Powell's estranged daughter, Lyn. Risking his career and his life, Caulder's ambition drives him to find the truth, regardless of the cost. Both men become psychologically connected as their relationship changes from psychiartrist and prisoner to student and teacher.
