Der stählerne Vorhang (1987)
Lee (Nick Nolte) wagt das Unmögliche. Er konfrontiert kurz vor seiner Begnadigung die gesamte Gefängnisverwaltung mit ihrer eigenen Grausamkeit und Unfähigkeit. Als die Weltöffentlichkeit von den Zuständen im härtesten Knast Amerikas hört, werden die Gefangenen ermutigt, und es kommt zur längst fälligen Revolte. Die Justizverwaltung hat trotz brutalstem Eingreifen keine Chance. Das Ende von San Quentin ist da.
Der Regisseur: John D. Hancock
