Escape from Alcatraz

A resourceful prisoner arrives at Alcatraz, a maximum-security prison on a rocky island surrounded by dangerous waters. Despite the prison’s fearsome reputation and the belief that escape is impossible, he and several fellow inmates quietly develop an intricate plan, using patience, ingenuity, and improvised tools to challenge the system.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like patient, realistic prison thrillers such as Cool Hand Luke, but Not for you if you need fast action, extensive character development, or neatly explained outcomes.
