A few years ago, the American drama "Prison Break" can be described as a fire, and people who love to watch American dramas are estimated to have seen this TV series. There are still a lot of movies with the theme of jailbreak, let me talk about 13 classic jailbreak movies I have watched.
"Babylon", there are two films, one is filmed in 1973, one is filmed in 2017, I like the old version shot in 1973, the final ending of this movie is quite unexpected to me, the final escape success turned out to be the simplest and roughest way, jumping from the cliff into the rough sea, successfully escaping from prison with a sack of coconuts.
"The Shawshank Redemption", released in 1994 "The Shawshank Redemption" can be described as the most famous prison escape movie, but unfortunately the Oscar of that year lost to "Forrest Gump", really said that "The Shawshank Redemption" to throw "Forrest Gump" a few streets, but at that time the American social environment made Americans prefer "Forrest Gump", every time someone said that "Forrest Gump" is an inspirational movie, I am curious, where is the inspiration??
"The Hole", a French-Italian co-production film released in 1960, tells the story of five criminals waiting for trial to dig a hole and escape from prison, the plot twists and turns, this prison escape movie can be described as a classic of prison escape movies, better than "Shawshank Redemption".
"Blood Splash tiger head gate", is an American film released in 1947, about the Ximen prison, full of violence, prisoners live in fear every day, a massacre, so that they have a plan to escape. This movie is the originator of the prison break movie.
"The Great Escape", a film released in 1963, tells the story of a group of American prisoners in a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II, starting with their own ways to escape, and then they secretly dug two tunnels together, one discovered by the Germans, another calculation error dug up, and finally only more than seventy people escaped from the tunnel, but most of them were killed or arrested, and only a few people really succeeded in escaping. When I saw that they had repeatedly escaped and were found, and the Germans just locked them up, I thought the Germans were so kind, hahaha
"Iron Window Blood", an American movie released in 1967, said that the male protagonist of this movie is really a loss, because he destroyed the parking timer after drinking, he was sentenced to two years, because his mother died, he tried his best to escape from prison, and finally escaped when he was killed, it was really a loss.
"Escape from Yakala", a movie released in 1979, Yakala, is the prison in "Brave Island", which is known as a prison where no one can successfully escape. This movie is also one of the most classic prison escape movies, "The Shawshank Redemption" should be based on this film creation, but "Escape from Yakala" is more intelligent, is a high-IQ prison escape movie.
"Midnight Express", an American movie released in 1978, is based on a true event, the male protagonist Heath was sentenced to four years for smuggling marijuana in Turkey, because of the hostility between the United States and Turkey, Turkey sentenced him to another 30 years, he could not stand it, and escaped from prison with Jimmy. After the film was released, the U.S. government learned about the situation and used political channels to rescue many Americans who were imprisoned by Turkey like Heath.
"Seeing the Sky Again", an American movie released in 2006, adapted from real events, impressed the male protagonist to eat squirming live maggots, eat snake meat raw, and the blood-sucking ants on his body. If the male protagonist is a trained special forces member, I can accept it, but for a pilot, it is really incredible to be able to do this.
"Escape Train", a 1985 American film, several criminals can't stand the torture in prison, decide to escape, get on a freight train, and the train gets out of control. The screenwriter of this film is very bullish, the famous Japanese film master Akira Kurosawa, shot in the snowy Canada.
"Golden Cicada Out of the Shell", this series of movies has three, I think the last two can be ignored, that is, the first one is a bit of a look, is 2013 Schwarzenegger and Stallone two veteran screen tough guy starring, was put in a prison of their own design, but it is a very sad thing, fortunately open the pig's foot mode, successfully escaped from prison.
"Prison Escape", a thriller prison escape movie filmed in the United Kingdom in 2008, the first half is quite ordinary, the ending part is a bit unexpected, although the ending is not satisfactory, but this movie is an excellent prison escape movie.
The Prison Guard, an American film released in 2000, one of my favorite films, was pardoned by the three who escaped to become the most famous singer group. I like the episodes in it the most, relaxed and cheerful, and have been looped countless times.
