Description
Summary:
"Based on a story by Truman Capote (In Cold Blood), this absolutely riveting, award-winning drama features Alan Alda and Vic Morrow in the performances of their careers. Mild-mannered university professor Jonathan Paige (Alan Alda) is sentenced to one year in prison for manslaughter. He is completely unprepared for prison life, and once inside he refuses to adapt, although he does realize he is going to need some protection if he is to survive his term. He joins a gang led by the vicious Slocum (Vic Morrow) but discovers, too late, that Slocum may be more dangerous as a friend than as a foe. Featuring exceptional performances from its young ensemble cast, including Billy Dee Williams and Clu Gulager, 'The Glass House' is an example of the golden era of television film -- a sensational, gripping, quality drama"--Container.
