Only months before he's due to be released from prison, model inmate Frank Leone (Sylvester Stallone) is transferred from a medium-security facility to a barbaric hellhole run by the ruthless Warden Drumgoole (Donald Sutherland). Still smarting from an incident in their past, Drumgoole sets out to make Leone suffer. But there's only so much Leone can take before he reaches his breaking point. John Amos, Tom Sizemore and Sonny Landham co-star.
