In early 1960 Frank Morris, a criminal who has absconded from other facilities, arrives at the maximum security prison on Alcatraz Island. Alcatraz is unique within the US prison system for its high level of security, and no inmate has ever escaped. The day of his arrival, Morris steals a nail clipper from the Warden's desk.

Later, Morris encounters two bank robbers and brothers John and Clarence Anglin, who are his old friends from another prison sentence, and he links up with prisoner Charley Butts. Morris notices that the concrete around the grille in his cell is weak and can be chipped away, which evolves into an escape plan. Over the next months, Morris, the Anglins, and Butts dig through the walls of their cells with spoons (which have been soldered into makeshift shovels), make papier-mch dummies to act as decoys, and construct a raft out of raincoats.

The following morning, the escape is discovered and a manhunt ensues. Shreds of raincoat material and personal effects of the men are found floating in the bay. While searching on Angel Island, the Warden insists that the men's personal effects were important, and the men would have drowned before leaving them behind. A guard believes the convicts got rid of them on the pretence that they drowned. The Warden is later summoned to go to Washington and face his superiors, with the prospect of being forced to accept an early retirement/termination of his duties for having failed to prevent the breakout from happening. On a rock he finds a chrysanthemum flower head and is told by his aide that none grow on Angel Island.

The film's final scene implies that the escape was successful, but in fact it remains a mystery whether this is so.[10] Circumstantial evidence uncovered in the early 2010s seemed to suggest that the men had survived, and that, contrary to the official FBI report of the escapees' raft never being recovered and no car thefts being reported, a raft was discovered on nearby Angel Island with footprints leading away (similar to the fictional scene in the movie where the Warden finds a chrysanthemum possibly left by the escapees)[11][10][12]

Escape from Alcatraz was well received by critics and is considered by many as one of the best films of 1979.[17][18][19] Frank Rich of Time described the film as "cool, cinematic grace", while Stanley Kauffmann of The New Republic called it "crystalline cinema".[20] Vincent Canby of The New York Times called it "a first-rate action movie," noting that "Mr. Eastwood fulfills the demands of the role and of the film as probably no other actor could. Is it acting? I don't know, but he's the towering figure in its landscape."[21] Variety called it "one of the finest prison films ever made."[22]

Roger Ebert gave the film 3.5 stars out of 4, writing, "For almost all of its length, 'Escape from Alcatraz' is a taut and toughly wrought portrait of life in a prison. It is also a masterful piece of storytelling, in which the characters say little and the camera explains the action."[23] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune awarded 3 stars out of 4, calling it "very entertaining and well made. The principal problem is a too-quick ending that catches us by surprise."[24] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "A delight for cineastes, 'Escape From Alcatraz' could serve as a textbook example in breathtakingly economical, swift and stylish screen storytelling."[25]

Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes retrospectively reported that 97% of 29 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 7/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "Escape from Alcatraz makes brilliant use of the tense claustrophobia of its infamous setting -- as well as its leading man's legendarily flinty resolve."[26] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 76 out of 100 based on nine critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[27]

The film grossed $5.3 million in the U.S. during its opening weekend from June 24, 1979, shown on 815 screens. In total, the film grossed an estimated $43 million in the U.S. and Canada based on theatrical rentals of $21.5 million,[28][2] making it the 15th highest-grossing picture of 1979.

San Francisco Bay, January 18, 1960. Frank Lee Morris is transferred to Alcatraz, a maximum security prison located on a rocky island. Although no one has ever managed to escape from there, Frank and other inmates begin to carefully prepare an escape plan.

Based on the true story of one of the few inmates that may or may have not successfully escaped from The Rock aka Alcatraz prison, it was also the final collaboration between Don Siegel and Eastwood, being Dirty Harry their most successful.

That real-life event foreshadowed his movie role as Frank Morris in the 1979 film "Escape from Alcatraz," in which he and two other men escape the penitentiary on Alcatraz Island, swimming away in the frigid water of San Francisco Bay.

Escape from Alcatraz is de basis geweest voor de vele gevangenisfilms daarna. De muis in the Green Mile en de bibliotheek in Shawshank Redemsky. De sadistische directeur ook in Shawshank maar ook in Locked up met Stallone. Het zand wegmoffelen via de mouw heb ik in latere films ook wel eens gezien dus je kunt wel zeggen dat deze film de grondlegger was van vele films daarna.

Escape from Alcatraz is een trage film maar verder wel goed in elkaar gezet. De opbouw is goed en redelijk spannend tot het eind. Karakters worden goed gegeven en Clint speelt zoals hij altijd wel doet. Stocijns maar serieus. Wel jammer dat de film bijna geen muziek kent. Zodoende voelt ie af en toe wat doods aan. Verder prima film die zich vooral in het duister afspeelt.
