Product Description:
Frank morris and two brothers plan their 1962 escape from the rock-island prison. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 04/11/2006 Starring: Clint Eastwood Bruce Fischer Run time: 112 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Don Siegel

Amazon.com essential video:
One of Clint Eastwood's two most important filmmaking mentors was Don Siegel (the other was Sergio Leone), who directed Eastwood in Dirty Harry, Coogan's Bluff, Two Mules for Sister Sara, and this enigmatic, 1979 drama based on a true story about an escape from the island prison of Alcatraz. Eastwood plays a new convict who enters into a kind of mind game with the chilly warden (Patrick McGoohan) and organizes a break leading into the treacherous waters off San Francisco. As jailbird movies go, this isn't just a grotty, unpleasant experience but a character-driven work with some haunting twists. --Tom Keogh

- Awesome movie
Clint Eastwood rocks, it is about a bank robber who is in prison and attempts to escape. Awell made movie, if you have not seen it, buy it.

Rating:

- Eastwood last colloboration with Don Siegel
This film based on a true incident involving the last successful escape from Alcatraz was the last colloboration between Clint Eastwood and Don Siegel and the result is a winner!! Tightly directed by Siegel in a semi-documentary style, Eastwood is perfectly cast as the lone mastermind behind the escape but before that occurs we are treated to the oppressive treatment of the convicts as adminstred by cruel, sadistic warden, excellently played by Patrick McGoohan. In fact the scenes between McGoohan and Eastwood are perfectly played and an able supporting cast led by Roberts Blossom, Larry Hankin, and in a minor role, Danny Glover help out also. If you like prison dramas in the mode of "Brute Force" or Siegel's "Riot in Cell Block 11" (another classic of its kind) then you'll like this one.

Rating:

- Clint Eastwood! Need I say more?
The vast majority of Eastwood movies are great and what is there to not like about this one? Clint is great, as usual, and you find yourself loving every minute he gets over on "the man." Once again a "Man's Man." Love the scene where he punches out a fellow con who wants to kill him. If you love Dirty Harry or the Eiger Sanction you will love this one also.

Rating:

- FUN
This movie keeps you interested with the distinct characters. Love learning the cleverness of these desperate felons to prevail escape.
