Film review:

In a French prison, "Claude" was converted into a cell, and was quickly recognized by the four people in the new cell. He randomly joined a digging prison escape plan they planned. However, at the critical moment when they succeeded in digging a hole and were ready to escape, "Claude" got the good news that his wife had withdrawn the lawsuit and that he would soon regain his freedom. This good news was told to him by the warden. He chose to betray his cellmate. In the end, when they escaped together, the prison guards arrested all four of them, and "Claude" did not get the desired release. What awaited him was a change of cell.

, it is okay for them to face the same point together, but once their interests conflict, they will definitely choose to betray others. There is a concept in economics called " Prisoner's Dilemma ".
