We're No Angels

Synopsis

The Great Depression casts a long shadow over America, even reaching the formidable walls of a maximum-security prison straddling the US-Canada border. Inside this bleak institution, career criminals Ned and Jim find themselves trapped, their days a monotonous cycle of labor in the grim prison quarry. One sweltering afternoon, an unexpected announcement ripples through the ranks of the incarcerated: a notorious murderer, Bobby, is slated for execution in the electric chair that very evening. This news ignites a spark of desperate hope and fear within Ned and Jim, forcing them to confront the stark reality of their own predicament and the precariousness of life behind bars. The ticking clock to Bobby's execution casts an oppressive tension over the entire facility, hinting at a potential uprising or a desperate bid for freedom that could change everything.
