What's this movie? (It's driving me crazy)
I know that there have probably been a couple of these, but the basic premise is an undercover cop gets sent to prison, but only one person knows about his true identity and that person dies, keeping the cop in prison.
Thanks for any input.

Nick Cage switches faces w/ John Travolta and is sent to prison. He escapes, but he is in prison for a period of time.

Face/Off is the first thing that popped into my head also.
However, I suspect that this is not the first time that Hollywood has scrounged up that premise.
