Punishment Park is a pseudo-documentary that follows a team of soldiers escorting hippies, draft dodgers, and anti-establishment types across the desert in a capture the flag game. The soldiers vow not to interfere with the rebels' progress, but as they near their destination, their hostility towards the hippies grows, attempting to force them out of their pacifist behavior. The film's cinéma vérité style and ambiguous demands from the director pushed the cast to the brink, with emotions clearly on the surface.
