Le film met en scène des jeunes délinquants dans une maison de correction pour mineurs, leur violence entre eux et avec les gardiens de l'institution. À sa sortie, il était controversé pour ses thèmes de racisme, de violence, d'abus, de viol et de suicide. Il est depuis considéré comme un classique.
