Kino Lorber have revealed that they are preparing a 4K Blu-ray release of Don Siegel's film
Escape From Alcatraz (1979), starring Clint Eastwood, Patrick McGoohan, Roberts Blossom, Jack Thibeau, and Fred Ward. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Synopsis: Frank Morris (Clint Eastwood), a hardened con with a history of prison breaks, is sent to serve the rest of his life sentence at Alcatraz -- America's most infamously brutal and inescapable maximum security prison. Morris quickly realizes the prison's dehumanizing effects and clashes with its cruel warden (Patrick McGoohan). Fed up with life at Alcatraz, Morris and two convict brothers (Fred Ward, Jack Thibeau) meticulously plan the unthinkable: an escape from the island.
