The story of Fortress takes place in drastically overpopulated
America of the year 2017, where each woman is allowed only one
pregnancy. John Brennick (Christopher Lambert) and his wife Karen
(Loryn Locklin) flee to Mexico when she becomes pregnant after the
death of their first child. They are captured by border police and
sent to the Fortress, a subterranean high-security prison owned by
the Men-Tel corporation and operated by "Zed-10," an omnipotent
computer system, and a sadistic, genetically "enhanced" warden (Kurtwood
Smith) who has nefarious plans involving Brennick's wife and
unborn child. Along with his cellmates (including Jeffrey Combs, a
favorite of director Stuart Gordon), Brennick plots a breakout,
and Fortress shifts into auto-pilot action mode.
