Against the Wall

This HBO telefilm takes its inspiration from a real-life event -- the notorious takeover of New York's Attica State Prison by inmates angry at their poor treatment. After authorities ignore constant complaints by the prisoners, two convicts incite a riot to protest the terrible conditions in the Attica correctional facility. Soon guards have become hostages, and the entire world is waiting for a resolution. But the situation only grows more and more tense and violent. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
