Escape from Alcatraz is a gripping crime thriller based on a true story that takes place in 1962. The film follows the journey of Frank Morris (played by Clint Eastwood), a highly intelligent and resourceful inmate who arrives at the notorious Alcatraz Island Federal Penitentiary.
Upon his arrival, Frank quickly realizes that Alcatraz presents an almost impossible challenge for escape due to its isolated location surrounded by treacherous waters and its strong security measures. However, this only fuels his determination to find a way out.
Frank befriends fellow prisoners Clarence Anglin (played by Fred Ward) and his brother John Anglin (played by Jack Thibeau). Together with a few other inmates, they start planning an elaborate escape. They study the prison's layout, memorize guard routines, and create lifelike papier-mâché dummy heads to place in their bunks during nightly checks.
Using their cunning and resourcefulness, the trio manages to dig an intricate system of tunnels behind the walls of their cells, hidden by fake grilles they created. They work meticulously, using improvised tools and methods to avoid detection from the guards.
Simultaneously, Frank builds a makeshift raft using raincoats and adhesive to keep it airtight. The group also collects and saves enough rainwater to sustain them during their escape.
As the day of the escape approaches, tensions rise among the group, but they manage to keep their plan intact. Finally, the night arrives, and they make their move. With the prison in chaos due to a riot distraction, they crawl through the tunnels, climb through the ventilation shafts, and reach the roof.
However, to their dismay, they discover their previously created raft is unable to sustain their weight on the treacherous waters. Determined not to give up, they embark on a dangerous swim to Angel Island. It is believed that they planned to steal clothes and a car to aid in their escape from the mainland.
From this point on, the film remains ambiguous about the ultimate fate of the three escapees. The authorities launch an exhaustive search, but no solid evidence of their survival or death is found. The film ends with a note stating that the case remains open to this day.
Escape from Alcatraz is a suspenseful and thrilling portrayal of the incredible escape attempt from one of the world's most notorious prisons. It highlights the human spirit's ability to persevere against seemingly insurmountable odds and the enduring mystery of what happened to the three men who disappeared that fateful night.
