In the not-so-distant future, Earth is controlled by a giant corporation called Men-Tel. After escaping from a maximum security prison known as The Fortress, renegade John Brennick and his wife and son are fugitives on the run. But Brennick is soon apprehended again and placed in a futuristic state-of-the-art maximum security prison recently completed by Men-Tel. Orbiting 26,000 miles from Earth, the prison houses the planet's most fierce criminals, forcing them to perform dreaded space labor amidst meteor showers and other harsh elements.
Here, Brennick is locked down by hi-tech security jail cells and surrounded by an elaborate system of computer surveillance devices, including a camera placed inside his body. If Brennick ever wants to be re-united with his family, he has no hope but to try and escape -- an idea that was never thought possible...until now! |

Marcus: Girl, you better recognize my skills. I could build a radio station out of milk cartons and two condom wrappers. |

"At best, a pale imitation of the original." -- Nathan Shumate, Cold Fusion Video Reviews |
|
| "Patrick Malahide provides a few laughs as a slightly camp governor and Pam Grier puts in a token cameo but none of it is enough to save a film that sorely lacks energy." -- Almar Hafildason, BBCI Films |
