There was an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called "Chain of Command" that rather blatantly copied from Closet Land. It was a good episode, mind you...it's just that nobody else seems to be aware of the rip-off besides me. Captain Picard was nabbed by the enemy Cardassians and interrogated. There are a couple lines that are almost quote Closet Land verbatim.
shareDAMN YOU AND YOUR BLATANT LACK OF ORIGINALITY, PICCARD!!!
Babylon 5 had an episode heavily inspired by Closetland, though it was definitely not a copy.

Both Radha Bharadwaj, the writer and director of "Closetland", and the writers of "Chain of Command" (& Patrick Stewart) studied footage obtained by Amnesty International of real torture/interrogations. I would be surprised if they didn't have similarities.

Someone on the I Need to Know forum is seeking a similar-sounding film:
I saw a movie in the late 70's. It was about this woman who wrote children's books. The whole movie was filmed in an interrogation room where the government suspected she was a spy and was relaying classified information through the characters in her books.

shareThis movie came out in 1991 and Star Trek: The Next Generation called "Chain of Command" aired in December 1992, so who copied who ?
sharewhat are you talking about, The OP is saying that ST:TNG copied
its story from the movie, since the movie came first.
