Trapped in a Purple Haze is a drama television film about drug abuse which originally aired on ABC in 2000; its title is a reference to the Jimi Hendrix song "Purple Haze". The film starred Jonathan Jackson, JoBeth Williams, and Carly Pope, with a supporting role by Hayden Christensen (who eventually beat Jackson for the part of Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel trilogy).
