On September 25 1983, 38 Republican inmates executed the largest prison breakout in British history, violently breaching the supposedly escape-proof walls of HM Prison Maze. Armed with smuggled guns and a meticulously engineered plan, their escape delivered a staggering blow to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s government. Prison Break: Escape from the Maze is a gripping, minute-by-minute cinematic documentary which includes interviews with both escapees and former prison officers, many speaking publicly for the very first time. They provide raw, highly detailed accounts of the claustrophobic build-up, the chaotic afternoon of the breach, and the lasting personal cost of working and living inside a concrete flashpoint. Told with the pacing of a cinematic thriller and enriched by rare archival material, the film is a nuanced, gripping and deeply empathetic examination of memory, ideology, and human survival.
