The cult 1960's television show 'The Prisoner' widely regarded as an allegory of modern life is to be turned into a film. The British actor Clive Owen, star of 'Croupier', is expected to take on the role of 'Number Six' - the secret agent held among a brainwashed population by a mysterious regime.

Prisoners were known only as numbers and massive balloons smothered anyone attempting to escape. The film is to be directed by Simon West better known for directing Tomb Raider and Con Air. West says "The Prisoner is going to be very bizarre, a different type of film making".
