Escape from Alcatraz

Matinee Heroes

ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ

Frank Morris, a hardened con with a history of prison breaks, is sent to serve the rest of his life sentence at Alcatraz -- America's most infamously brutal and inescapable maximum-security prison. Morris quickly realizes the prison's dehumanizing effects and clashes with its cruel warden. Fed up with life at Alcatraz, Morris and two convict brothers meticulously plan the unthinkable: an escape from the island.

Craig along with guest cohosts Elizabeth Rappe and Mark Woodring discuss breaking out of the rock, actors too big to go into small holes, paper mâché heads and the movie “Escape from Alcatraz" on this week’s Matinee Heroes!!
