Premise: A hellhole like Yuma Prison does all sorts of things to a man. Mostly it makes him want to escape. For two men facing life sentences -- Harold Jackson, the only black man behind the walls, and Raymond San Carlos, an Apache halfbreed -- a breakout seemed nigh on impossible. That is, until the law gave them two choices: rot in a cell, or track down and bring back the five most ruthless men in Arizona.

Release Date: Unknown.

Comments: Tarantino doing a western, that we have to see. When you add to the mix that the picture is based on one of Elmore Leonard's books, we're already in line.

Rumors: Unknown.
