Plot:

Alex is an average teenager who spends his free time beating drunken tramps within an inch of their lives, ransacking private residences, and raping women while defacing Gene Kelly classics.

His anti-social paradise comes crashing down when he accidentally murders somebody who had the temerity to defend herself.

While in prison, Alex charms his way into undergoing the Ludovico Technique, a government-approved new therapy that seeks to change the patient into a healthy, law-abiding citizen by showing him a series of violent films and inducing him with mind-altering drugs.

Thus, he is brainwashed into experiencing motion sickness every time he sees or even thinks about a violent act.

The treatment works, the government looks great, and Alex gets out early. But how does the "completely reformed" Alex take to his new life in Britain?

More importantly, how does life in Britain take to him?
