No more lockups, no more shakedowns, no more cell walls. Frank “Fast-Walking” Miniver wants out. Frank is a prison guard.
With light-stepping, glib-talking ease Miniver sets out to make his dreams of a place in Oregon come true by staging a for-profit prison break in this gleeful, gritty caper from thriller specialist James B. Harris (Cop, Boiling Point).
James Woods is Miniver, a conniving rascal a lot like the guys on the inside… except he goes home each night. Unable to raise extra needed money by running a seedy off-hours whorehouse, Miniver reaches for the big time when a renowned activist (Robert Hooks) is jailed and makes clear his willingness to buy his way out.
Will Miniver take the $50,000 and run? Or is he a man of his word. The name’s Fast-Walking. But Miniver’s going to have to so some Fast-Thinking.
