"Riot in Cell Block 11" is a 1954 drama film starring Neville Brand and Leo Gordon. It was directed by Don Siegel, based on the screenplay by Richard Collins.

Production

The film was shot on location at Folsom State Prison with real inmates and guards playing background roles. [cite web | url=http://www.timeout.com/film/76766.html | title=Riot in Cell Block 11 Film Review | publisher=timeout.com | accessdate=2007-02-24] It is noted as the first film eventual director Sam Peckinpah worked on. He was hired as a third assistant casting director by Don Siegel. Reportedly, the warden was reluctant to allow the filmmakers to work at Folsom Prison until he was introduced to Peckinpah. The warden knew his family from Fresno, California and immediately became cooperative. Siegel's location work and his use of actual prisoners as extras made a lasting impression on Peckinpah's later career. He would work as an assistant to Siegel on four additional films including "Private Hell 36" (1954), "An Annapolis Story" (1955), "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956) and "Crime in the Streets" (1956).
