Robert Redford stars in this
action drama as
General Irwin, a respected three-star tactician whose career ends in disgrace when he's court-martialed and sent to The Castle, a maximum security military prison.
Irwin quickly butts heads with the facility's autocratic warden,
Colonel Winter (
James Gandolfini), who runs his command with an iron fist, even killing prisoners when he deems it necessary.
Irwin rallies his fellow convicts into a rag-tag army and leads them in a revolt against
Winter, an
action that the warden is ready to repel by violent means.
Mark Ruffalo,
Robin Wright Penn, and
Delroy Lindo co-star in this
Dreamworks production, the third feature film from one-time film critic
Rod Lurie.
