The prisoners stage a full-scale riot, aiming to burn down the jail. As Jackson (Bryan Brown) takes a hammer to the doors of the isolation cells and the warders open fire, the prison governor (Robert 'Tex’ Morton) assures his superior that guns will only be used as a last resort.
Curator’s notes
The sense of pent-up fury and frustration is very strong here, notably in the way Jackson continues to bash at the doors of the isolation cells, to ensure they can’t be used again.
