Fortress is a 1993 film directed by Stuart Gordon. The story takes place in a dystopian future. The main character in the movie, John Henry Brennick (Christopher Lambert) and his wife Karen B. Brennick (Loryn Locklin) are sent to a maximum security prison because they are expecting a second child, which is against strict one-child policies.
Set in a dystopian future the year 2017, in the USA, the US Army officer John Henry Brennick (Christopher Lambert) and his wife (and possibly US army officer also) Karen S. Brennick (Loryn Locklin) are expecting a second child. Strict one-child policies forbid a second pregnancy, but the couple attempts it anyway because their first child unfortunately died at child-birth.
They are caught and sent to a maximum security prison that is owned and run by a company, rather than the government, called the “MenTel Corporation.”
John Brennick has to deal with an unreasonable environment; he is not allowed to dream in his sleep, and is tortured by a sadistic Prison Director (Kurtwood Smith). His unborn child is now officially owned by the MenTel Corporation (the company seems to use these children to create cyborgs).
