- Summary:
- True crime from a decorated NY journalist digging into a famous prison break by two murderers from the largest maximum security prison in New York. The subsequent manhunt, which riveted media viewers nationwide, left one fugitive dead, the other wounded and recaptured, and uncovered the peculiar relationship they'd had with the prison seamstress who helped them. Ben Stiller is planning a limited series on Showtime about this prison break.
