The Ipcress File (1965) follows a British intelligence agent assigned to investigate the unsettling disappearance of leading scientists, only to discover their abductions stem from a covert brain‑washing program. As he delves deeper, he becomes the target of the same psychological conditioning, forcing him to confront betrayal, manipulation, and shifting loyalties. This espionage thriller blends Cold War realism and cerebral paranoia in a stark study of mind control and distrust.
