Magnolia Pictures released the trailer for the thriller “Compliance” via Apple iTunes.

The Craig Zobel-directed movie stars Ann Dowd, Dreama Walker, Pat Healy and Bill Camp.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Inspired by true events, COMPLIANCE tells the chilling story of just how far one might go to obey a figure of authority. On a particularly busy day at a suburban Ohio fast food joint, high-strung manager Sandra (Ann Dowd (Garden State) receives a phone call from a police officer saying that an employee, a pretty young blonde named Becky (newcomer Dreama Walker) has stolen money from a customer. Convinced she’s only doing what’s right, Sandra commences the investigation, following step-by-step instructions from the officer at the other end of the line, no matter how invasive they become. As we watch, we ask ourselves two questions: “Why don’t they just say no?” and the more troubling, “Am I certain I wouldn’t do the same?”

“Compliance” will be in theaters on August 17th.
