Animal Factory
Directed by Steve Buscemi
Suburbanite Ron is spoiled, young and not overly worried about the marijuana charges leveled against him. But, after being made out to be a drug dealer, he faces a five-year jail sentence in San Quentin State Prison. Physically frail and unaccustomed to his rough surroundings, Ron is primed to fall victim to sexual predators and bullying guards -- that is, until he's befriended by Earl, a veteran inmate who finds meaning in protecting the vulnerable new kid.
This gritty and unflinching prison drama from Steve Buscemi tells the story of a young inmate (Edward Furlong) who develops a bond with a tough, older convict (Willem Dafoe).
Cast: Willem Dafoe, Edward Furlong, Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo, Tom Arnold, Mark Boone Junior
