Mean Machine (2001)
description written by member Zara:
Disgraced ex-England captain (Danny 'Mean Machine' Meehan) is thrown in jail for assaulting two police officers. Whilst in jail, he doesn't recieve any favours because of his celebrity status in the outside world.

The prisoners are lead by Danny and the whole of the prison, guards aside, are behind them.
