Fortress

1992 · 1h 35m · Action, Thriller, Science Fiction

IMDb 5.9 Metacritic 48 RT 38%

If you dig dystopian sci-fi with high stakes and don't mind '90s action cheese, this Christopher Lambert vehicle is a solid popcorn pick—the premise of an inescapable high-tech prison is genuinely inventive, even if the execution gets messy. Just manage your expectations: it's more B-movie thrills than masterpiece, but sometimes that's exactly what a Friday night needs.

Plot

In the future, the inmates of a private underground prison are computer-controlled with cameras, dream readers, and devices that can cause pain or death. John and his illegally pregnant wife Karen are locked inside "The Fortress" but are determined to escape before the birth of their baby.

Director: Stuart Gordon
