Fortress (1985)
Member Rating:  
In an Australian outback town so small that children of all ages share a single classroom, teacher Sally (Rachel Ward) suffers the typical frustrations of life in the provinces. She really finds something to fret about when a gang of gun-toting, mask-wearing criminals kidnaps her and the students and drives them to the remote wilderness. With the kids' safety, perhaps survival, in the balance, Sally must appease the lewdly suggestive bandits while scheming for a way to escape their clutches. After several abortive attempts result in multiple deaths, she and the oldest children manage to usher the young ones to at least provisional safety. Free but stranded in a mountain hideaway, the class must band together to survive and perhaps turn the tables on the men who continue to hunt them. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

    This was a good movie and I enjoyed it very much. I have seen a lot of new movies and the new movies are not as good as the 80's The movies in the 80's have a plot and a good story line. Better Actors, Better Directors Better Movies, Better Overall Example: The Original Clash Of The Titans is 100x better than the New Clash Of The Titans. Special Effects doesn't make a movie good A good story line makes a movie exciting to watch. You don't need well known actors to make a good movie.

    Yes   |   No

    we were surprised that we liked this movie so much. it's not that good, but for whatever reason we just really got into it. there are a lot of choices made by the actors that just don't make any sense, but it is worth watching.

    Yes   |   No
