HBO. $89.99. 1987. R. Nick Nolte is splendid in a virile, emotion-charged performance as a suicidal convict redeemed by his discovery of the world of literature. Jon Hancock’s engaging, heart-on-its-sleeve movie was inspired by the experience of ex-convict Rick Cluchey, founder of the Barbed Wire Theater. With Rita Taggart, Ernie Hudson, Bill Forsythe and John Toles-Bay.
