Skip it. This 1989 Stallone prison revenge flick is a generic action-thriller that trades on the star's muscles rather than any real wit or originality—the plot of a vengeful warden is thin gruel, and the movie has faded into obscurity for good reason. You've got better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

Frank Leone is nearing the end of his prison term for a relatively minor crime. Just before he is paroled, however, Warden Drumgoole takes charge. Drumgoole was assigned to a hell-hole prison after his administration was publicly humiliated by Leone, and has now arrived on the scene to ensure that Leone never sees the light of day.
