One of the finest prison movies ever made, Escape From Alcatraz (1979) is a suspense masterpiece. It's masterfully directed by maverick filmmaker Don Siegel, with fine performances by Clint Eastwood, Fred Ward, Larry Hankin, and Patrick McGoohan, and a nuanced, well-written script by Richard Tuggle (who would later on direct Eastwood in the hit Tightrope (1984). This is an unmissable, compelling, near-perfect suspense picture, and arguably Eastwood's second best collaboration with Siegel after Dirty Harry (1971). Based on a true story.
