Before Shawshank Redemption and Prison Break, there was Escape From Alcatraz. A criminally underated film with a good cast and great plot (based on real events) The only downside is the lack of timeline explanation. We see at the start it's early 1960 and by the end of the film it's mid 1962. Would of been better to demonstrate this.
