Vintage stilted crime drama at its best, Prison Mutiny is the sordid story of Johnny Gray (Edward Norris) who is wrongfully imprisoned. Gray is just a normal sociable guy with a few minor law infractions in the course of his busy life. All this changes when Gray’s car is stolen and used for a holdup! Gray swears he’s innocent, but all the henchmen arrested in the crime swear he was the mastermind. In prison, Gray gets to know a hardened convict who is planning on organizing a mass escape. Gray himself becomes meaner, as his prospects of ever being rightfully released get slimmer and slimmer. Fortunately, Gray meets other, kinder souls in prison and learns more about life than he ever did during his carefree days on the street. Prison Mutiny is a hard look at life and crime, and the terror of wrongful imprisonment.
