Transcript

A prisoner noticed something strange. Every time the old man in front of him ate noodles, he'd quietly drop one on the floor. Looking down Jack figured it out. The old man was feeding a rat. As it turned out the old man was serving a life sentence and was planning to break out of prison with that rat's help. Seeing this Jack got an idea. When the guards were distracted, he quietly bent a spoon. Then told a guard this spoon is bent. I can't eat properly. With that excuse, Jack managed to get two spoons instead of one. He hid one on himself. Back in his cell, he turned on a light and shaped the spoon into a sharp cutting tool. He started digging a tunnel, but just then a guard was heading his way. Jack didn't notice, but his buddy quickly signaled him. Jack shoved the dirt into a box, hid the tool and threw himself onto the bed. Luckily the guard didn't notice a thing. The next day while digging, Jack hit a thick metal mesh behind the wall. He was going to need something tougher to cut through it, so he swiped a piece of metal and kept it on him. But that day, every prisoner was being searched before leaving the area. When Jack walked through the metal detector, the alarm went off. Without missing a beat, he slipped a fake piece of metal to the guard. The guard got suspicious and searched him thoroughly. But the real piece was tucked inside Jack's shoe. The mesh was finally cut. The path was clear. Next Jack soaked newspaper in clothing and water, and built a dummy that looked just like him. He painted it with flesh-toned paint, and pressed his own pulled hair onto the head to make it look real. Then he slipped out through the tunnel, but the hardest part was still ahead. In the morning, the guard came for inspection. Jack's friend kept calling out to distract him. While Jack climbed across the prison roof, the guard assumed the prisoner was just asleep. Then his batten dropped to the floor with a loud thud. The guard flinched, but even with that noise, the prisoner didn't wake up. He reached into the cell, but Jack was already back. If you want to see the whole story, the movie is called Escape from Alcatraz.
