Movies So Controversial They Caused Riots

Movies are meant to entertain or make us think—but some went too far. These five films shocked people so much, they caused real chaos: from protests to violence in the streets. Let’s take a look.


### 1. **A Clockwork Orange (1971)**  

Stanley Kubrick’s disturbing film about violence and mind control caused outrage in the UK. Some believed it inspired real-life crimes. It was so controversial that Kubrick himself asked to ban it in Britain.


### 2. **The Birth of a Nation (1915)**  

This silent film was praised for its filmmaking, but it had strong racist messages and supported the Ku Klux Klan. It caused protests and riots in cities like Boston and Philadelphia.


### 3. **The Passion of the Christ (2004)**  

Mel Gibson’s retelling of Jesus’ final hours was very violent and emotional. Some people said it was anti-Semitic. In some places, it caused heated arguments and even fights outside theaters.


### 4. **The Exorcist (1973)**  

This horror classic made people faint, vomit, and panic in cinemas. In some cities, crowds became so disturbed that police had to be called in to calm people down.


### 5. **The Interview (2014)**  

This comedy about assassinating North Korea’s leader caused international tension. Hackers threatened violence against theaters, and Sony Pictures was cyber-attacked. Many cinemas canceled the movie to avoid riots or threats.
