Building on the worldwide success of Fortress, this sequel depicts a futuristic Earth controlled by giant corporation Men-Tel. After escaping from a maximum security prison known as The Fortress, renegade John Brennick (Christopher Lambert) and his wife and son are on the run. But Brennick is soon apprehended and placed in a new, state-of-the-art prison orbiting 26,000 miles above Earth, where the planet's fiercest criminals are forced to perform dreaded space labor amid meteor showers and worse. Brennick is locked down by high-tech security measures and surrounded by an elaborate system of surveillance devices, including a camera placed inside his body. If Brennick ever wants to be reunited with his wife and son, he must try to escape, an idea never thought possible until now.
