In an experimental government center for troubled vietnam veterans, the inmates run the asylum. One works on an adaptation of Shakespeare...for dogs. Another fancies himself a caped superhero. Still others masquerade as frogmen, nurses, nuns, pirates, doctors. Yet the psychiatrist in charge eyes all with a stoic reserve. Maybe too stoic: There's a mystery here. And it's final resolution is like a thunderclap. William Peter Blatty, the Academy Award winning writer of "The Exorcist", provides a Golden Globe-winning screenplay (from his novel "Twinkle ,Twinkle,Killer Kane") and directs the stellar ensemble cast of this multi-layered spellbinder.
