The movie talks on an ordinary family man (Tom Selleck) who works as airplane mechanic and married a good woman (Laila Robins) . He's accused by two baddie policemen (David Rashe and Richard Young) as peddler and he's sent to a hard jail . There he is harassed and humiliated until that fury and revenge emerge . He's only helped by a veteran convict (F.Murray Abraham) framed for prison life.
It's an interesting film developed in two parts : in and out prison . The best part is narrated into prison because of it reflects the astonishing existence of the inmates , with fights, threats ,murders and where rules the strongest's law . In the picture there are suspense, violence, drama ,tension and a little bit of action in the final confrontation . The picture obtained moderated success , it was not a smash hit neither a flop . Tom Selleck's interpretation is fine but F.Murray Abraham is better , he makes a terrific acting as the veteran con who teaches naive Selleck to take on the risks and dangers of the gaol . Atmospheric music by Howard Shore who subsequently achieved many hits and one Oscar (Lord of rings). Nice cinematography by William A.Fraker , photographer of various classic films . The motion picture is rightly directed by Peter Yates . The story will appeal to prison genre enthusiasts and Tom Selleck fans.
