Compliance 2012 is a American drama film written and directed by Craig Zobel, and starring Ann Dowd, Dreama Walker, and Pat Healy. The plot focuses on a prank caller who pretends to be a police officer and convinces the manager of a fast food restaurant that one of her employees committed a crime. It is based on the Strip Search Prank Call Scam.

At the World Premiere at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, Compliance 2012 was met with a controversial response from the audience including several walkouts and shouting matches during the film's Q&A session.
