Four prison inmates have been hatching a plan to literally dig out of jail when another prisoner, Claude Gaspard, is moved into their cell. They take a risk and share their plan with the newcomer. Over the course of three days, the prisoners and friends break through the concrete floor using a bed post and begin to make their way through the sewer system -- yet their escape is anything but assured.

Super prison escape film. Has some real unhurried energy and plays off the inmates well. Sadly, the director's last film. The posters here https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/movie-poster-of-the-week-the-films-of-jacques-becker

The 2 ½ hour prison escape film, like Rififi, utilizes long, unbroken, often dialogue-free shots to dramatize the simple story of a group of prisoners a More
