Zelle R 17 (Originaltitel: Brute Force) ist ein US-amerikanischer Film-Noir von Jules Dassin aus dem Jahr 1947. Der in Schwarzweiß gedrehte Film entstand nach einer Erzählung von Robert Patterson und enthält Elemente des Gefängnisfilms. In der Haftanstalt Westmore leiden die Insassen unter den Übergriffen des sadistischen Oberaufsehers Munsey. Die Häftlinge wiederum gehen mit ebensolcher Brutalität gegen Spitzel in den eigenen Reihen vor. Als die Situation unerträglich wird, plant eine Handvoll Männer den Ausbruch.
