Working with Don Siegel, they wrote this film. In protest to the brutal guards, substandard food, overcrowding and poor living conditions, inmates stage an uprising, and take several guards hostage. Negotiations between the inmates and prison officials are stymied by politicians interfering with the prison administration, and by dissension and infighting amongst the inmates.
Plot: A prisoner leads his counterparts in a protest for better living conditions which turns violent and ugly.

Very good though a bit preachy.
“Riot in Cell Block 11” is a very good, very tough prison movie. However, I should also warn you that it’s also got a very strong and not especially subtle message…and could have been handled a bit less obviously. The producer had an axe to grind…and it’s too obvious. On the other hand, it is a nice contrast to the usual evil jerks in prison film.

When the film begins, there is a preachy prologue about prison riots and how they are the fault of the politicians and the people for allowing prisons to become that rotten. While to some extent this is true, the message come on about as subtly at a baseball bat against your skull. Then the film begins, a fictionalized account of prisoners rioting at a prison and the ineffectiveness and duplicitous nature of public officials in dealing with it. Again and again, the Warden advises for restraint and seems very much in agreement with most of the prisoners’ demands…and time and again, the powers that be think the best way to handle the prisoners is to bluster and lie.

So if the film comes off as a bit preachy, why do I still give it a 7 (and I was tempted to give it an 8)? Well, the acting is really terrific. Neville Brand is great as the prisoner in charge of the rioters and the rest of the actors did a really nice job. Had the message been toned down a tad, the film might have earned a 9.

Riot in Cell Block 11
Film producer Walter Wanger (Cleopatra) had recently been released from prison, and with director Don Siegel (Dirty Harry, The Shootist) they made this film to portray the terrible conditions Wanger went through while incarcerated. Shot on location at Folsom State Prison, with real guards and prisoners in the background, the story sees prisoner James V. Dunn (BAFTA nominated Neville Brand) leading a revolt against the prison authorities. The prisoners want changes made to the conditions and routines of the prison, so they break out, taking a few guards hostage threatening their lives. They have made a document of negotiations for Warden Reynolds (Emile Meyer) and Commissioner (to be Senator) Haskell (Frank Faylen) to sign, and they will not give up until this has been done. Also starring Leo Gordon as Crazy Mike Carnie, Robert Osterloh as The Colonel, Paul Frees as Guard Monroe, Don Keefer as Reporter, Alvy Moore as Gator, Dabbs Greer as Schuyler, Whit Bissell as Guard Snader and James Anderson as Guard Acton. The film is very realistic with its portrayal of prison life and the inmates trying to gain control, and I’m sure it will keep people engaged. It was nominated the BAFTAs for Best Film from any Source. Very good!
