Whether acting or directing Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood* (Gran Torino) always manages to make it gritty and keep it real. And it doesn�t get more real than this fact driven thriller starring Eastwood as Frank Morris the cunning bank robber who masterminded the only successful escape from Alcatraz�s infamous maximum security prison. In 29 years the seemingly impenetrable federal penitentiary which housed Al Capone and �Birdman� Robert Stroud was only broken once � by three men who were never heard from again. Filmed on location at Alcatraz and directed by Clint�s frequent collaborator Don Siegel (Dirty Harry) this tough taut reenactment of the true story has all the intense character study and sheer power that mark Eastwood�s finest work.
