Uncommon card · No. 141993

Fortress is a 1992 science fiction action film directed by Stuart Gordon and shot at Warner Roadshow Movie World Studios (now Village Roadshow Studios) in Queensland, Australia. The story takes place in a dystopian future. The main character, John Henry Brennick (Christopher Lambert), and his wife Karen B. Brennick (Loryn Locklin) are sent to a maximum security prison because she is pregnant with a second child, which is against a strict one-child policy. Fortress premiered at the Fantasy Film Festival on 9 October 1992 before being released by Roadshow Film Distributors in Australia on 21 January 1993 and by Dimension Films (through Miramax Films) in the United States on 3 September 1993. The film was a financial success, but critical reviews were mixed. A sequel, Fortress 2: Re-Entry, was released in 2000, with Lambert reprising his role, making it the first installment in the Fortress film series.
