Robert Redford stars in this action drama as General Irwin, a respected three-star tactician whose career ends in disgrace when he's court-martialed and sent to The Castle, a maximum security military prison. Irwin quickly butts heads with the facility's autocratic warden, Colonel Winter ( James Gandolfini), who runs his command with an iron fist, even killing prisoners when he deems it necessary. Irwin rallies his fellow convicts into a rag-tag army and leads them in a revolt against Winter, an action that the warden is ready to repel by violent means. Mark Ruffalo, Robin Wright Penn, and Delroy Lindo co-star in this Dreamworks production, the third feature film from one-time film critic Rod Lurie. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

A Powerful Action Thriller.
Rod Lurie, who wrote and directed The Contender, now presents an ultimate prison picture. Academy Award winner, Robert Redford stars as a U.S. Army General, who is sent to prison for disobeying orders from a superior officer, and later, he intends to expose a brutally corrupt prison system to the world after learning his fellow inmates are being murdered by leading a rally to overthrow the ruthless prison warden. The picture caused a controversy involving showing the American flag hung upside down. Also starring James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo, Clifton Collins, Jr., Delroy Lindo, Steve Burton, Paul Calderon, Frank Military, Samuel Ball and Brian Goodman.
