The article discusses the five best space prison movies, with a list of five of which stars have been sent to a space prison. While the film industry tends to recycle ideas and recycle ideas, there is a greater demand for movies centred around space prisons. The list includes Christopher Lambert's "Fortress," where he and his wife, Karen, find themselves in trouble with the law for having multiple children and are locked up at a futuristic fortress prison run by Men-Tel Corporation. Other notable films include "Forthress 2: Re-Entry" and "Lockout," where CIA agent Marion Snow is wrongfully arrested and sent to MS One, where only the baddest of the bad reside. The film is praised for its high-stakes action and believable space special effects on a micro budget by director Geoff Murphy, who was also the second-unit director for "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The article also mentions "The Fifth Element" for its originality and "The Green Mile" for "Escape from Alcatraz".
