Lock Up (1989)

Description

He is only six months away from freedom. But a warden obsessed with revenge wants to take his future away. "This is hell and I'm going to give you a guided tour!" With these chilling words, the warden (DONALD SUTHERLAND) welcomes Frank Leone (SYLVESTER STALLONE) to Gateway Prison, a nightmare jail where every minute is hard time. The warden wants vengeance for the past; Leone wants only to survive the present. Their explosive battle of wills is the electrifying heart of one of Stallone's most heroic thrillers, LOCK UP. Stallone gives a monumental performance as Leone, a convict driven to break his own cherished code by a warden who will stop at nothing to get him. Sutherland portrays the sadistic prison head in this riveting white-knuckle ride to hell and back.
