Fortress (1992)

It's 2017. John Brennick (Lambert) gets sent to a Maximum Security prison for a crime that he did commit. Yes, he’s guilty, even though the poster art implies that he isn't. Admittedly, there are mitigating circumstances, but if they were taken into account then the film wouldn't exist.
It’s a story of the steadfast nature of the human spirit in the face of adversity and inhumane practices. If you've been a fan of sci-fi for any length of time then you’ll have seen the separate parts of the tale 100 times before in many guises. If the thought of seeing it 101 times doesn't fill you with repulsion, then it’ll fill a 90 minute gap in your life.
The year 2017 doesn't seem very far away any more but it did back in ’92.
