Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the distant future, the earth has been overtaken by aliens, and the surviving humans have been reprogammed as slave laborers. Hoping to overthrow the rulers, insurrectionist Trent Davis (played by Star Trek: The Next Generation's Brent Spiner) kidnaps Evan (Erich Anderson), the personal slave of alien leader Koltok (Vincent Hammond). During a grueling and emotionally devastating deprogramming process, Evan is groomed to assassinate Koltok -- but will this result in an even more horrific fate for the enslaved humans? "The Deprogrammers" originally aired on May 26, 1996.
