There is a big gap with reality, and the plot is average.

From the data point of view, it means that it is almost impossible to escape from Alcatraz Prison. Even if you escape the tall walls of the prison, or you are not caught or killed by the prison guards, or you can only be buried in the sea, this prison will only come in. The prison that cannot be escaped is called the world's most severe prison for this reason.

However, there are exceptions to everything. In this sturdy Alcatraz island, three prisoners escaped successfully, and they were not captured at all. These three were brothers Frank Morris and Anglin.

These three prisoners are very smart and have high IQs. Unfortunately, they do not need to be on the right path, but specialize in drug dealing, bank robbery, gun robbery and other vicious incidents. All three of them are desperadoes and are imprisoned as serious criminals in the devil. The island, unwilling to stay here for a lifetime, the three of them had the same foul, they began to plan and formulate a prison escape plan, and it took several months to implement the plan.

Homemade tools

The first is to open up the ventilation ducts of the cell. The three of them did not sleep at all every night. They stole used spoons, coins and nail clippers to dig concrete walls. They even used stolen vacuum cleaner motors to make their own electric drills and used them as cover during the prison accordion playing time for a year. At the time, large holes were dug in the vents on the concrete walls of the respective compartments, and the false wall made of wet newspapers deceived the guards. After the grille was worn off, the gate to the prison roof finally opened.

The second is how to keep the guards on patrol from discovering after leaving the prison, so as to buy time and escape to the beach, so that they will not be quickly pursued. In order to escape the night rounds by the prison guards, they used toilet paper and homemade soap to carve their fake head models on the night they left, and put the models on the pillows to create an illusion that they were sleeping normally. The hair of this fake head is from a real person. It was collected during the haircut. Therefore, after escaping, when the guards inspected, they saw the same-looking'half head' on the pillow on the bed, and found no clues. Thought it was all right.

Then when escaping to the beach, I used dozens of stolen rubber cloth life jackets and tapes to make an inflatable raft 1.8 meters wide and 4.2 meters long, and made a self-made oar with plywood for use in the dark. The accordion-modified bellows was full of air, and he set sail with the oars, and disappeared into the night of the sea without a trace.

During the day the next day, when the prison guards called them up early and saw the realistic dummy heads on the three pillows, they discovered that they had escaped from the prison. So the largest search in history began, but a few days and nights passed without seeing them. At any sign, I just saw a homemade kayak on the shore and a book "Popular Mechanics", which described in detail how to build a kayak with rubber cloth.

The three escaped prisoners caused a great sensation at the time, and Alcatraz Island has also been favored by the film and television industry. Many films released that year, such as "The Birdman of Alcatez", "Escape from Alcatraz/Escape from Akara", "Shawshank's Redemption", "Brave to Death Island" and many other film and television dramas have used them for reference. The story of three escaped from prison. Their experience has amazed countless people.

    3.5. The realism is so realistic that there is no room for other components. The soundtrack when you remove the jailbreak can be rated as four stars. The soundtrack's rendering of the atmosphere is far less efficient than the ambient sound itself, and even reduces its intensity; the dissolving mirror is a major highlight. On the premise of abbreviating the narrative process, it perfectly solves the incoherence of time, space and situation caused by editing.
