Description

Escape from Pretoria is the true story of Tim Jenkin (Daniel Radcliffe) and Stephen Lee (Daniel Webber), young, white South Africans branded "terrorists", and imprisoned in 1978 for working covert operations for Nelson Mandela's banned ANC. Incarcerated in Pretoria Maximum Security Prison, they decide to send the apartheid regime a clear message and escape! With breath-taking ingenuity, meticulous surveillance, and wooden keys crafted for 10 steel doors, they make a bid for freedom... Beyond a thrilling will-they-won't-they-escape, this is the story of an oppressed majority's struggle, and two ordinary men who stood up to be counted in the pursuit of equality for all.

    This romantic film pays tribute to the continuing struggle for racial equality. And is a welcome, brief escape from our daily lives. It shows what clever men can do to overcome injustice, and is gratifying to watch.
  • Liberal bs again

    You lost me the second the trailer said "our privlieged white lives." Enough with the double standard from rish hollywood trash who just complains and creates drama vs truly helping people. No wonder the liberal trash rotton tomatoes review clowns liked it.
  • Awesome movie

    Well worth a rental. A particularly well-made true story. Great performances, and a reminder of what once was and must never again be.
