A small group of prisoners decide to use the pretext of a riot to cover an escape plan. A fine performance by Hackman, in one of his earlier roles - Jim
Brown's gritty realistic portrayal of a reluctant pawn in the escape plan gives proof of the super-stardom he would have achieved, had he kept his off screen affairs in order. The action is non-stop, and screams to an unpredictable conclusion. Fine title song performed by Bill (Righteous Brother) Medley.
