Pressure Point (1962) delves into the intense psychological drama within a prison setting, where a dedicated African-American psychiatrist, played by Sidney Poitier, faces a formidable challenge. His professional ethics are severely strained as he is tasked with treating a troubled inmate, portrayed by Bobby Darin, who harbors deeply disturbing and prejudiced Nazi ideologies. The film explores the complex dynamics of race, mental health, and the ethical dilemmas that arise when personal beliefs clash with professional responsibilities.
