Trivia

The character of Dan Durando is the only one of the escapees that is fictional. The actual sixth member was Clarence Carnes, a Native American who was spared execution because he refused to kill the captured prison guards as ordered. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: The gun battle between Guards and inmates actually took place in the D Block side of the prison, when armed officers attempted to take control of the West Gun Gallery. According to written accounts, Guard Harold Stites was fatally hit in the back by a bullet fired from outside through a D Block window. See more »

Quotes

Dan Durando: [responding to Coy's promise of no blood being spilled during the break] But the trouble is, you got Cretzer and Crazy Sam.
Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: Dutch knows the ropes. He's made a couple of breaks before. And he ain't leaving without Sam.
Dan Durando: Well, what about Thompson? I never know what he's thinking or what he's gonna do.
Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy: Who does? But he wants out bad, just like us. He ain't gonna give us any trouble.
