Punishment Park
President Nixon proclaims a state of emergency because US prisons are overcrowded in this fake documentary. All new convicts, the majority of whom are linked to the antiwar movement, are now offered the option of doing time in prison or spending three days in Punishment Park, where federal agents will hunt them for sport. The inmates almost always chose the latter option, but they quickly find that their prospects of survival are limited due to the desert heat and the ruthless police forces.
