Escape From Alcatraz
1979
After being sent to the nation's toughest prison for life, career criminal Frank Morris (Clint Eastwood) quickly starts planning his unauthorized departure. Enlisting two bank-robber brothers (Fred Ward and Jack Thibeau) as accomplices, Morris meticulously works out every detail before commencing his daring escape attempt. Director Don Siegel's taut thriller is based on the only successful jailbreak from the infamous island penitentiary.
No one has ever escaped from Alcatraz... And no one ever will!
