It includes three men escaping Alcatraz on the night of June 11, 1962. Originally there were four men, but the fourth couldn’t get through the ventilator grill so they were forced to leave him behind. They spent three months digging through their air vents with sharpened spoons that they stole from the cafeteria. They also made lifelike dummy heads out of paper, soap and human hair from the barbershop. They made a makeshift raft and life preservers out of 50 raincoats that had been stolen or donated by the other inmates. The escapees climbed up 30 feet to the prison plumbing system to the root of the cell house. Then crossed 100 feet of rooftop and made it down 50 feet of piping, near the exit of the inmate shower area. They weren’t heard or seen after this point. And who knows where they are now
