An American prison escape thriller; This is a story inspired by the springing of Joel David Kaplan from a Mexican prison in 1971. It's an old-fashioned action adventure of simplistic nature. The plot involves a shadowy force trying to stop a rescue, which, along with other evasions makes it a little incoherent. Some of the supporting characters fail to charm, or amuse, so it is left to Charles Bronson to carry the film and lead the action, which he does well with an energetic, surprisingly comedic performance as the film's hard luck hero. Some credibility goes out of the window when we are expected to believe a non-pilot can fly a helicopter long-distance. The jailbreak is also a big letdown in suspense.
