SYNOPSIS
“Shutter Island” is a psychological thriller that follows U.S. Marshals Teddy
Daniels and Chuck Aule as they investigate the disappearance of a patient
from a mental hospital for the criminally insane. As they delve into the
mysterious case, Teddy’s past traumas, including his experiences in World
War II and the death of his wife, Dolores, begin to haunt him. The
investigation leads Teddy to uncover a complex conspiracy orchestrated by
the hospital staff to break through his delusions and make him confront a
painful truth about his past. In a dramatic twist, Teddy discovers that he is
actually Andrew Laeddis, a patient at the hospital who created a false reality
to cope with the guilt of killing his wife after she murdered their children.
Teddy ultimately chooses to undergo a lobotomy, preferring to live in a
delusion rather than face the harsh reality of his actions.
