The Trap is a series of three films that explore the origins and consequences of our contemporary idea of freedom. It shows how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today's narrow idea of freedom, which is based on nuclear strategists' Cold War techniques and game theory.

"The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom" seeks to examine the flawed nature of Western political freedom in the nuclear and terror age. By Robert Koehler.
From here, Adam Curtis takes us through the 20th Century, right up to the Iraq War. He shows that sometimes the revolutionary positive freedom is more desirable, by providing individuals with meaning in life, while the pursuit of democratic and capitalist negative freedom can be just as brutal.
The ultimate political goal at the heart of our age is the idea of individual freedom. In the first episode of the trap miniseries, an answer to the question of what personal freedom means and how its meaning changed after world war 2 and during the cold war is investigated.
