Movie / Show Details

Oz: Season 5 is the fifth season of HBO’s hard-edged crime drama set within Oswald Maximum Security Prison’s experimental Emerald City unit. Released in 2002, the season features Dean Winters, Eamonn Walker, Ernie Hudson, Harold Perrineau, J.K. Simmons, and Kirk Acevedo navigating the brutal prison environment where rival gangs-Aryans, Muslims, Sicilians, and Latinos-clash over power and survival. The eight episodes chronicle escalating violence and tension as characters like the cunning Ryan O’Reily protect family, inmates seek redemption, and long-simmering conflicts reach critical points that set the stage for the series’ final season.

This DVD edition contains three discs with a total runtime of seven hours and 41 minutes, rated TV-MA for intense violence, language, and mature content. HBO’s uncompromising prison series delivers graphic depictions of stabbing, strangulation, and other brutal acts alongside complex character arcs and emotional depth.
