LasKeepsItReal I have watched many films set in prisons, the ones with females have the best story lines for me. There will be several spoilers ahead so here goes:A young woman named Michelle living in the country first appears to be in an idyllic life but then we find out she has to cope with an on/off boyfriend who is addicted to drugs called Willy.Willy soon meets Rita a strong and confident woman who manipulates him into trouble resulting in him agreeing to rob the bank in which Michelle works. The robbery goes horribly wrong when the police arrive and after a brief car chase Willy is killed and both guilty Rita and innocent Michelle end up in different prisons.This is only the beginning of the nightmare that Michelle is about to face as whilst in prison she meets top dog Sheila, drug addict Amy, the bitchy lesbian warden and rapist Smiley.Various dramas happen until Rita,who is out for revenge is transferred to the same prison as Michelle causing further problems.There is not much i can fault this film for apart from its depiction of some of the nasty things that are portrayed such as racism,segregation,rape and a brutal murder of one of the female prisoners near the end of the film although these topics are what makes the film memorable.I enjoyed both the roles of Michelle (Shari Shattuck) and Rita (Christina Whitaker) for different reasons Rita because she was cruel,calculating,direct and an outright bitch and Michelle because she was caring,sweet although naive but quickly switched on her survival instincts whenever she needed to.I would give this film 8 out of 10!

gavin6942 A young woman (Shari Shattuck) is falsely convicted of a bank robbery and sent to a maximum-security prison run by a corrupt warden, where she is forced to suffer various indignities.When you sit down to watch a women in prison movie, you already expect it to be exploitation all the way, with gratuitous nudity and very likely a girl-on-girl sex scene or two. While this film certainly does that, it is a little less blatant and for that it maybe deserves a little credit.Not that this is good. The basic plot point is that a woman kidnapped at a bank gets sent to prison for the robbery she had no part of. This really makes no sense, but because it jumps from the cops showing up directly to the prison, we never see how such bungling could occur.

djderka A leggy sexy girl (Rita) in short shorts and cowboy boots somehow manages to hitch a ride from some dude driving a stolen red Corvette. They team up in a robbery/shooting and drag the dude's girlfriend (Michelle)into the fracas and she is convicted of armed robbery and is to serve 3 years.Thrown into an all female prison, Michelle tries to cope with the the requisite evil warden, personal conflicts, bad guards, bad prisoners, but hey it IS prison.Actually this film has a lot of social justice between the nude prisoners running around and kissing and making out. The blacks are segregated but Michelle bridges the divide and teams up with them to ferment a full fledged Attica style riot. The big tough gal, Faith Minton, a centerpiece in the population, is tough enough to serve in a men's prison, where she would get respect. Lots goes on in this above average prison flick, and it kinda reminds me of a female version of Brubaker. If you see it for $5, buy it or rent it for a fun evening of chic on chic action with some social justice thrown in.Sadly the movie did not provide IMDb with practicals, i.e. photos of all cast members and bios. So faces are blank, making it hard to identify the actors.Moral: avoid going to prison at all costs. Be a good citizen. Well, even that might not help you if you are framed.

Dr. Gore **SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I bought this video. "The Naked Cage" is a fine, fine film. I would rank it among the very best women's prison movies that I've seen. That is saying a lot as I consider myself to be a connoisseur of the genre. "The Naked Cage" is good stuff.The movie starts off with a hot chick hitchhiking to the song "Tuff Enuff" by the Fabulous Thunderbirds. She gets involved with a loser and they plan a bank heist. Naturally, an innocent blonde is implicated in their robbery. The rest of the movie is at the women's prison where the blonde fights for survival among prison riots and horny guards.All of the elements of a successful women's prison flick are here. Lesbian wardens, sadistic prison guards, mass shower scene, prison fights and plenty of unnecessary female nudity. The key in these movies is to keep the violence level high. The nudity is always good but for a women's prison flick we've got to see the women reduced to animal-like ferocity to survive. "The Naked Cage" keeps the girls very angry.If you like women's prison flicks, check this one out.
