In a near-future Britain, young Alexander DeLarge and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. When not destroying the lives of others, Alex swoons to the music of Beethoven. The state, eager to crack down on juvenile crime, gives an incarcerated Alex the option to undergo an invasive procedure that'll rob him of all personal agency. In a time when conscience is a commodity, can Alex change his tune?

Arancia meccanica (A Clockwork Orange) è un film del 1971 scritto, prodotto e diretto da Stanley Kubrick. Tratto dall'omonimo romanzo distopico scritto da Anthony Burgess nel 1962, prefigura, appoggiandosi a uno stile sociologico e politico, una società votata a un'esasperata violenza, soprattutto nei giovani, e a un condizionamento del pensiero sistematico. Forte di quattro candidature agli Oscar del 1972 come miglior film, miglior regia, miglior sceneggiatura non originale e miglior montaggio, presentato lo stesso anno alla Mostra di Venezia, il film ottenne un buon successo ed un grande impatto culturale. Decisivo per la riuscita del film fu anche l'apporto di Malcolm McDowell nel ruolo di Alex, pronto e disponibile a tutto, al punto che s'incrinò una costola e subì l'abrasione delle cornee durante le riprese del film. Quando fu distribuita sul circuito cinematografico, all'inizio degli anni settanta, la pellicola destò scalpore, con una schiera di ammiratori pronti a gridare al capolavoro, ma anche con una forte corrente di parere contrario, per il taglio originale e visionario adottato nella narrazione, che faceva ricorso in maniera iperrealistica a scene di violenza. Nel 1998 l'American Film Institute l'ha inserito al quarantaseiesimo posto della classifica dei migliori cento film statunitensi di tutti i tempi, mentre dieci anni dopo, nella lista aggiornata, è sceso al settantesimo posto. Nel 1999, compare nella classifica BFI 100 stilata dal British Film Institute all'81º posto. Nel 2020 è stato scelto per la conservazione nel National Film Registry della Biblioteca del Congresso degli Stati Uniti.
