A scene from the Wild 7, a modern day drama set in the old west, was filmed at the entrance of Arizona State Prison Complex-Florence. Wild 7 is a tale about two simultaneous bank robberies. The majority of the film is set in Scottsdale, and it follows an ex-con, played by Robert Forster, who is fresh out of prison and is seeking revenge against the man who sent him there. Forster has appeared in such motion pictures as Jackie Brown, Mulholland Drive and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Also appearing in the film is Richard Roundtree who has been in such productions as Shaft, George of the Jungle and Earthquake. Correctional Officer Jose Carrion of ASPC-Florence has a small role in the movie. In the film, Carrion is working the main gate when the inmate is released. The scene shot at Florence depicts a released inmate and a prison employee having a conversation as they’re walking down the front entrance of the complex. Wild 7 joins movies like Stir Crazy, Riot and Raising Arizona as films shot at Florence prison.
