The film opens with Alex and his droogs in the Korova Milk Bar which was an actual bar in New York but closed down in 2006. He describes the bar as, "The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."

The story is narrated by the protagonist Alex who finds pleasure in violence, rape, and Ludwig Van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. He is a menace to society together with his droogs until they turn on him by setting him up for murder. He is sent to prison where he is sentenced to 14 years. He shows a genuine desire to reform and wants to submit himself to the Ludovico technique, an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government to solve societal crime. The technique involves being exposed to extreme depictions of on-screen violence under the influence of a nausea-inducing drug. Alex is rendered incapable of violence, even in self-defense, and also incapable of touching a naked woman during a test of the technique.

He becomes a free man where he goes home to surprise his parents reading the morning paper with him on the front page. But it was him who got surprised, his parents adopted a border/"son" while he was away and got rid of his belongings including his pet python. He ran away in which he ended up jumping from a window. He lived though, and his suicidal tendency made front page news again saying the government propagating means of inhuman crime reform. This alarmed the minister and hurriedly came to aide Alex because of losing popularity and in fear of losing in the elections. He offers to pay all of the hospital expenses and offers him job and a high pay in the government if he campaigns for them which is detrimental to their victory.

Anticipating his return to havoc, Alex relives his surreal fantasy of having sex with a woman in the snow, surrounded by applauding Victorian ladies and gentlemen. With the finale of the 9th Symphony in the background, Alex narrates the film's end: "I was cured, alright..."

The movie shows the capability of man to either do good or evil. It is his moral choice whichever he decides. It doesn't matter if he does more evil than good, what is important is that he had a choice. The Ludovico technique makes one incapable of doing evil, thus forcing a person to do good. Goodness must come from within. It also portrays what people will do for their own means by using other people or having themselves used by others.

One of the worst movie I've seen so far since, I can't even remember because I haven't seen a bad movie for years. It had erratic cuts, long, boring dialogue scenes. The parts of the bombing of the WTC are taken from an amateur video before. It had good cinematography though. It isn't worth your P160. Better spend it on something else
