Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion
ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThriller89 min
After her detective lover uses her and leaves her to take the fall, Nami Matsushima is sent to a brutal women’s prison with one thing fixed in her mind: revenge. Inside, every day becomes a fight to endure beatings, humiliation, and the constant pressure to submit to guards and inmates who test her resolve. Nami keeps to herself, refuses to break, and turns her anger into a cold, steady purpose. As punishments escalate and escape becomes both a dream and a risk, the prison itself becomes a battleground between a woman marked as dangerous and the system trying to crush her. Meiko Kaji leads this as Nami’s silence hardens into defiance.
