Prison 77 (Spanish: Modelo 77) is a 2022 Spanish historical thriller drama film directed by Alberto Rodríguez from a screenplay co-written with Rafael Cobos which stars Miguel Herrán and Javier Gutiérrez.
Set in the late 1970s in Barcelona's Modelo Prison, the plot consists of a critical revision of the so-called Transition in Spain, focusing on the plight of inmates imprisoned on common charges claiming for an amnesty that, unlike the case of fellow political prisoners, never came to pass.
The film opened the 70th San Sebastián International Film Festival on 16 September 2022, to be released theatrically in Spain a week later.
It earned 16 nominations at the 37th Goya Awards, winning in five technical categories.
