DVD Movie based on progressive rock band IQ’s album “Subterranea”


Locked in a dark cell as a child, “The Captive” (Bug Hall) was raised in complete isolation, never seeing the light of day or even another human being. But he approaches the age of 30, without warning, he released into society with nothing but the clothes on his back.

Determined to find out who he is, The Captive discovers that he’s the centerpiece of a dangerous orchestrated sociological experiment and sets off to find the truth about his shadowed existence, ultimately leading to a thrilling confrontation with his maker (William Katt).

Subterranea is an album by British progressive rock band IQ, which was released in 1997. Subterranea is about a man who’s been the subject of an experiment. He’s been held captive, almost like sensory deprivation, throughout his whole life and he doesn’t have any contact with the outside world (Provider)
