In 1962, three inmates vanished from America’s most secure prison—Alcatraz.
Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin carved through concrete with stolen spoons, crafted a raft out of raincoats, and left behind hauntingly lifelike dummy heads in their beds.

Did they drown in the freezing waters of San Francisco Bay?
Or did they pull off the most legendary prison break in U.S. history?
