Prisoner

Does the end justify the means? Prison transport officer Amber (Izuka Hoyle, Big Boys, Boiling Point) is about to find out. Just returning from maternity leave, Amber’s first day back sees her transporting ruthless contract killer Tibor Stone (Tahar Rahim, The Serpent, The Mauritanian) to court. He has to testify in a high-profile case.

When their convoy is attacked by a highly organised unit, Amber handcuffs herself to the prisoner to prevent his escape. However, Tibor is a marked man, and their assailants will stop at nothing to make sure he does not make it to court. Together, they must navigate their clashing morals and survive a deadly alliance. Can this unlikely duo make it to the Old Bailey?

As a result, their day-to-day turns into a razor-sharp battle for power.

Flavia is determined to figure out how the dead body got there.

But when her father, Havilland, confesses to the murder, she must turn every trick in the detective manual to save him, keeping two steps ahead of the local constabulary, and one step ahead of the actual murderer, who now has an eye on her. Flavia embarks on a daring investigation to free her remote and enigmatic father, unaware that she will uncover his deepest secrets. As she delves into the mystery, she will also unearth truths about her deceased mother, Harriet, a spy whose footsteps Flavia is destined to follow.

TIME WELL SPENT

If the thought of Prisoner is giving you a taste for some drama-filled stories of crime and punishment, Sky Cinema has some classics to keep you on the straight and narrow. Experience the timeless hope of The Shawshank Redemption, the rebellious spirit of Cool Hand Luke, the gritty, homegrown energy of Mean Machine, walk the line between morality and anarchy in the controversial cult classic A Clockwork Orange, or do some time with a smile and a song in the divisive Joker: Folie a Deux. And if none of those makes you want to spend some time inside, then how about working a case or four with Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun boxset?
