Three daring men make a possible successful attempt at escaping from one of the most infamous prisons in the world.
From memory: Upright, concise and dark reconstruction of a still mysterious escape also gives a realistic portrayal of prison life on the island.
Halliwell*: "A dour, terse, depressing prison movie which makes an uncomfortable star vehicle and not very much of an entertainment, but does preserve a certain integrity right to its ambiguous ending."
Maltin***: "Straightforward, methodical telling of true story...Vivid and credible throughout."
