Overview

Timelock is a 1996 science fiction film set in the 23rd century. The story takes place at Alpha 4, a maximum-security penal colony located on an asteroid in another galaxy. In this setting, dangerous criminals from Earth are typically maintained in cryonic suspension. The plot begins when an inmate introduces a virus into the facility's computer system, causing the computers to fail. This malfunction releases the inmates from their frozen state, leading the prison to fall into a state of anarchy. A group of dangerous prisoners, led by a man named McMasters, seizes control of the complex and begins to cause mayhem. Caught in the middle of this uprising are a petty thief and a prison transport pilot. These two individuals must stand against the lawless men to ensure their own survival. The film, which has a runtime of one hour and thirty minutes, features a cast including Maryam d'Abo, Arye Gross, Jeffrey Meek, Ricco Ross, and Jeff Speakman. It was directed by Robert Munic.
