Juan Oliver is about to become a prison officer. On the first day of his new job, two colleagues show him around the old prison, telling him about the rough work and about Apache, a Russian informer. All of a sudden, and due to some building work, some plaster falls from the ceiling and hits Juan Olivier, who passes out. The guards take him into cell 211, which is empty, to try and revive him. But, as luck would have it, that's when a riot breaks out at the high security FIES cell block, the one that houses the most dangerous inmates. Juan's colleagues run away, leaving him stranded. When he wakes up in the cell he takes stock of the situation: if he wants to save his skin, he must pretend to be a prisoner. (StudioCanal UK)

A gripping prison action drama. I didn’t know anything about the plot beforehand, the high ratings and the country of origin were enough to catch my attention and I procured it without further questions. Cell 211 is a fantastic film with a good story, fast pace and excellent performances, it feels very realistic. Full of adrenaline, recommended.
