"Asylum" Movie Synopsis: Based on Patrick McGrath’s celebrated novel of erotic obsession, "ASYLUM" was adapted for the screen by award-winning writer Patrick Marber ("Closer"). Tony Award-winner Natasha Richardson stars with Sir Ian McKellen ("The Lord of the Rings"), Marton Csokas ("Rain"), Hugh Bonneville ("Iris") and 10 year-old Augustus Jeremiah Lewis in his feature debut.

In the late 1950s, when her husband Max (Bonneville) takes up his post as deputy director of a remote psychiatric hospital, Stella Raphael (Richardson) and her young son, Charlie (Lewis) are brought to live on the grounds of the asylum. Stella is soon drawn to charismatic inmate Edgar Stark (Csokas). Undeterred by the warnings from her husband’s colleague, Dr. Cleave (McKellen), Stella is prepared to risk everything to be with Edgar. Their passionate affair escalates as obsession begins to threaten Stella’s love, her sanity and her very life.
