Peter Cushing, Doug McClure, and Caroline Munro in At the Earth's Core (1976)

Narrator - Opening scene: 

In 1988, the crime rate in the United States rises four hundred percent. 

The once great city of New York becomes the one maximum security prison for the entire country. 

A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem River, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline. 

It completely surrounds Manhattan Island. All bridges and waterways are mined. 

The United States Police Force, like an army, is encamped around the island. 

There are no guards inside the prison, only prisoners and the worlds they have made. 

The rules are simple: once you go in, you don't come out.
