Convicted of a crime she didn’t commit, Carmen is sentenced to life imprisonment on Terminal Island: a place without guards or laws and a defacto anarchic society. As violence mounts, Carmen finds herself leading the island’s underground resistance in a plot to abolish the leader’s reign of terror.

Director Stephanie Rothman injects subversive politics into sleazy 1970s exploitation with the wild, weird Terminal Island: a wily feminist allegory. And if you want another great reason to watch, it features future Magnum, P.I. stars Tom Selleck and Roger E. Mosley!
