Best prison movies with strong hardened criminals?


Looking for prison movies that have lots of gangs, muscles, and fights. But also with a decent plot.

Tango & Cash. Stallone and Kurt Russell. Pure 80s. It's not a classic, but it's surprisingly good.

It's not movie,but Oz is pretty much best about prison in all TV,films,books etc.

Lots of kills,rapes,deaths,revenge..

It’s not a movie, but the HBO series Oz is about as raw and rugged as prison stories get. Frankly, it does not have much of a narrative. Its sole purpose seemed to have been sadistic, at which it succeeded in spades. It’s available on streaming HBO. It ran for 6 seasons.

One caveat: there is a HUGELY annoying recurring character, an inmate in a wheelchair, who serves as a Greek chorus to this show that wanted to be a Classic tragedy but was actually torture porn. His character is smug, self-impressed and despicable.
