Written & Directed by Cameron Combe

This is partially a reference to (or perhaps an update of) the story made famous by Plato: "The Ring of Gyges." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_gyges
Long story short, the Sophists say that Goodness = Pleasure because of Gyges's example, in that he did what was good for him and had no consequences because no one knew he was breaking the law. So, is Morality based on consequences or something else? This is the debate between the Sophists and Plato.

This film was also inspired by "The Twilight Zone."

Student Produced at Pasadena City College, December 2009
