Does anyone know the name of a movie where prisoners try to take over?

Question

I think theres something to do with a bar thats close by. And a guard's dad works there or something. Or the man thats working there at the bar used to be a guard. Or it could be both.

Answer 1

Hey, I remember that movie (Against the Wall, that is). Wasn't that based on a true story?
I think so; it had Kyle Maclachlan and Sam L. Jackson in it & it was about Attica:

40 people or so were killed (in real life)

Answer 2

"Against the Wall" ( TV - 1994)
