Canon City
Prisoners battle each other -- and the police -- when they escape the Colorado State Penitentiary.
From the archive
At the Colorado State Penitentiary, inmates Carl Schwartzmiller (Corey) and Jim Sherbondy (Brady) conceive a daring prison break. While a group of prisoners subdue a guard and take him hostage, Carl and Jim, along with 10 others, make their escape to nearby Canon City, Colo. As the fugitives terrorize residents of the city, taking local families hostage in their own homes, Warden Roy Best (Best) devises a plan to get the prisoners back -- dead or alive.
