Riot in Cell Block 11 [Blu-ray] [Criterion Collection]

Director: Don Siegel Don Siegel

Overview

In this prison film, Neville Brand plays a "lifer" who leads his fellow prisoners in revolt. Surprisingly, they don't want to escape -- they just want better living conditions. The parallels between this fictional story and the much-later convict uprising at Attica is underlined when Brand begins manipulating the media.
