What's the cost of freedom?.... "Fast-Walking" Miniver (James Woods) is a pot-puffing state prison guard who dreams of the easy life in Oregon. But there's always something in his way. Like his cousin, Wasco (Tim McIntire), the bigoted, power-crazed prisoner who's top man among the white inmates. Or Moke (Kay Lenz), a sexy, sharpshooting, motorcyclist prone to taking off her clothes. Miniver might never get to Oregon, but for the arrival in prison of a controversial black militant leader named Galliot. While Wasco loses no time in organizing a plot to kill Galliot, Miniver is offered $50,000 to help the man escape. It could be his ticket to easy street. If he can fast-walk his way through both plots and pull off a coup of his own... Major acting talent James Woods delivers a powerful, compelling performance as the star of this gritty prison drama about drugs, dirty deals, hungry women, and desperate men, all looking for a way out.
