After a fatal accident, Yu-gon, a former cop, is sentenced to jail time. Inside, he discovers that the prison is controlled by a crime syndicate that breaks out at night, using their sentences as an alibi to commit heists. Looking for revenge against the system, Yu-gon joins the syndicate.
A no-holds-barred portrait of life in prison, this debut feature from director Na Hyun is a masterclass in storytelling. Light on dialogue, and with the camera explicating the action stage, The Prison finds a humanistic chemistry in its central performances from Kim Rae-won and Han Seok-Kyu.
