In the wake of a Supreme Court decision to abolish the death penalty, California establishes Terminal Island as a dumping ground for convicted first-degree murderers. The island's main camp is ruled by Bobby, who maintains control through fear and uses women as sex slaves. A.J. and his group of like-minded convicts escape Bobby's tyranny and hide out on the island. When they liberate the imprisoned women from Bobby's custody, tensions escalate towards an all-out confrontation for control of Terminal Island.
Terminal Island is a 1973 American action-drama-thriller directed by Stephanie Rothman, one of Hollywood's few female filmmakers at the time. The film explores themes of power dynamics and exploitation within a unique prison setting. After the Supreme Court abolishes capital punishment, California creates Terminal Island as a penal colony for convicted first-degree murderers, with the condition that they can't leave. The island becomes a microcosm of society, reflecting its darker aspects. The movie is notable not only for its gritty portrayal of power struggles among convicts but also for Rothman's uncommon perspective behind the camera.
