    I immediately thought of Escapr from Alcatraz. Mainly because it is based on a true story. Shawshank is an absolute must-see though.

    I’m playing loose with the definition, but Sean Connery’s character broke out of Alcatraz which is why he’s recruited.

    ..... and then broke out of prison, against rogue military soldiers.

    Like I said, NEXT LEVEL stuff.

    What definition, the definition of a bunch of internet jackasses randomly arguing about inconsequential trivia?

    In that case you're still wrong.
