Caged Heat! / Jackson County Jail
Description
CAGED HEAT!
Thrown into the penal hell of Connorville, petty criminal Jacqueline (Erica Gavin, Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls) must fight against the ruthless inmates, a cruel warden (Barbara Steele, Dark Shadows) and a depraved staff. Eventually she forms an uneasy friendship with two hardened inmates. When these three unite, they find themselves on a sexy and violent adventure seeking escape, money and revenge. Also starring Roberta Collins (Death Race 2000) and Rainbeaux Smith (Massacre At Central High), and written and directed by Jonathan Demme (The Silence Of The Lambs), Caged Heat is inspired from start to finish (The Onion A.V. Club)!
JACKSON COUNTY JAIL
Advertising executive Dinah Hunter (Yvette Mimieux, The Time Machine) leaves a promising career in Los Angeles to start a new life in New York City. But her long cross-country drive becomes a nightmare after she picks up some hitchhikers and finds herself beaten up and stranded in a small town, then is thrown in the jailhouse on vagrancy charges. At the mercy of some bad cops, Dinah finds a way to escape with another prisoner (Tommy Lee Jones, Rolling Thunder). Now the two embark on a wild car chase from the police in this well-paced, well-crafted piece of '70s cinema (Rock! Shock! Pop!) also starring Robert Carradine (Orca), Howard Hesseman (Billy Jack) and Mary Woronov (Death Race 2000)!
