Synopsis
TV adaptation and dramatization of Jack London's novel "The Star Rover" published in 1915, which takes place in the interior of an American prison. It is not a western in the true sense of the word, but a chamber psychological drama set in the time of London's life and literary creativity. The Slovak film was shot in the studios of the Czechoslovak Television in Bratislava.
