Escape from Alcatraz (1979) stars Clint Eastwood and is directed by the great Don Siegel. Based on true events, the film dramatizes the only successful escape attempt from the maximum security prison on Alcatraz Island. The film also features the film debut of Danny Glover.
Entertaining, and recommended.

The inmate with the glasses in the trailer is the same guy from “One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest”. NURSE RATCHED!
Anything to do with prison or the south had the same people over and over. Character actors were typecast hard back in the day.
