Summary of The Manchurian Candidate

THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE is the fictional account of a far-from-ordinary G.I. who is brainwashed while held as a Korean POW. He returns to the United States as a programmed, remote-controlled killer. THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE is a remarkable penetration of the human mind, its foibles and its ultimate malleability.
Richard Condon's 1959 Cold War thriller remains just as chilling today. It's the story of Sgt. Raymond Shaw, an ex-prisoner of war (and winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor) who, brainwashed with the rest of his unit by a Chinese psychological expert during his captivity in North Korea, has come home programmed to kill. His primary target is a U.S. presidential nominee. Made into a controversial 1962 movie with Laurence Harvey, Frank Sinatra, and Angela Lansbury.
