Nomination Year: 2002

SYNOPSIS: A female criminal mastermind is captured and put into a woman's prison with the most harsh and devious of criminals. But it was all a cunning ploy to recruit these women for a daring assault on an impenetrable stronghold which contains a vast treasure (of adjective nouns).

This is the sort of movie that features characters named "Black Fox," "Quick Silver," "Black Cat," "Dynamite," "Brandy," "Sugar," and "Amazon." You just know that one of them will turn out to be a mole planted by the authorities, and at least two others will give their lives so that the final objective can be achieved.

And while the guards are distracted with the amazing basketball skills of the prisoners, they stage their daring escape. Or something.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
