Riot - Poster for John Carpenter's latest

Originally titled Scared Straight, the prison thriller tells the story of a troubled youth who is sent to the Scared Straight crime-prevention program. But when a riot breaks out and the prisoners take him hostage, a lifer (played by Nicolas Cage) is forced to help the young man out. I just hope John Carpenter is back on track as the genius director we all know and love.
