Escape from Alcatraz

Alcatraz was supposed to be the most secure prison in the entire world until three daring inmates managed to escape from the island. These three men (played by Jack Thibeau, Fred Ward, and Clint Eastwood) were successful in their escape from Alcatraz Island in 1962. Well, at least they got off of the island. Nobody knows if the men actually survived the swim to the shore.
