The Escapist

(2008)Directed by Rupert Wyatt102 minAction, Thriller
“5 Men. 4 Walls. 1 Plan.”

Frank Perry (Brian Cox) is twelve years into a life sentence with no parole, and his estranged daughter has fallen ill. He wants to reach her before it's too late, so he works out an escape plan and pulls together a crew of misfits, among them Rizza (Damian Lewis) and Viv Batista (Seu Jorge), who barely tolerate one another. Rupert Wyatt sets the whole thing against a clock, and if Frank doesn't get out in time, he loses his only chance to make peace with her.
