Screwed

The film is a semi-autobiographical narrative inspired by the real-life experiences of ex-prison officer Ronnie Thompson, who spent seven years working in some of the UK’s most perilous prisons. Adapted from Thompson’s book with the same title, the film features James D’Arcy (Master & Commander), Noel Clarke (Kidulthood), Frank Harper (The Football Factory), Jamie Foreman (Layer Cake), Andrew Shim (This Is England), and Kate Magowan (Stardust). The plot follows Sam Norwood, a former soldier who, upon returning from Iraq, takes up a position as a prison guard and finds himself immersed in the dark world of prison life, encountering corrupt officers and drug smuggling.
