From acclaimed director and actor Steve Buscemi comes a gritty portrayal of life behind bars and a community of convicts who live by one code: survival. On the inside the rules are brutal and the stakes are high. When first time felon Ron Decker (Edward Furlong; American History X, T2) is sentenced to two years in a decaying prison, he is quickly introduced to a world where violence is the only way of life. After witnessing a riot, Ron is soon taken under the wing of Earl Copen (Willem Dafoe; Platoon, The English Patient), a veteran convict who has manipulated the system to his every advantage, earning the respect of the toughest cons and the favor of the crooked guards. But sometimes even respect in a community of convicts can hold you prisoner. Now, Ron will soon discover that life in the "ANIMAL FACTORY" is not about rehabilitation, it's about survival.
