Exploring the turbulent relationships between psychiatrist Carl Jung, his mentor Sigmund Freud, and Sabina Spielrein, a troubled young woman who comes between them, A Dangerous Method delves into the world of sexual and intellectual discovery on the eve of World War I. Drawn from true-life events, the movie takes a glimpse into the dark side of human nature, where ambition, desire, and deception threaten to destroy everything in its path. As Jung becomes increasingly entranced by Spielrein's beauty and intelligence, their attraction deepens despite the taboo of sex with a patient. Meanwhile, tensions rise between Jung and Freud as they disagree on matters of psychoanalysis. Will their friendship survive the dangerous method they've created?
