Short description

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.

What's left behind the scenes

A significant portion of the film was shot on location – in a prison. Actors and crew members were warned in writing that if captured by inmates, no one would come to their rescue. At one point, prison authorities ordered bulletproof vests to be issued to the actors. The warehouse manager, however, told the actors that the vests would likely be of little help, because “the first thing the inmates will try to do is gouge out their eyes.”
