Overview

Caged Heat 3000 launches the classic women-in-prison premise into deep space, where the world's most dangerous women are exiled to a remote asteroid in the year 3000 AD. Kira Murphy, wrongfully convicted and out of place among hardened criminals, is thrown into the brutal confines of Messalina Four. Trapped between predatory guards and violent gang rivalries, Kira quickly realizes survival means more than just fighting for her life—she may be the only one capable of exposing the twisted operation at the heart of this cosmic lockup. Expect a heady mix of exploitation and camp as power dynamics, corruption, and survival instincts clash in a setting light years from Earth.
