Fortress Action adventure about being sent to prison in the future. Not to confused with No Escape.

Plot In the future a couple are sent to prison for illegally trying for another child after their first dies of natural circumstances. The husband, john Brennick (Lambert) is sent to a new form of prison which is a self contained dome where the inmates are left to their own devices, even if that means killing each other. Verdict There was a spat of 'futuristic prison' movies that came out in the mid-90's and this was one of the more memorable ones but perhaps for the wrong reasons. Lambert fails to convince as the action star and somehow it is left to a computer to steal the show.
