What is Escape in Dannemora all about?

Escape at Dannemora is a crime drama that revolves around the real-life events of the 2015 prison break in Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York.

Directed by Ben Stiller, it's a dramatized account of the complex escape plan undertaken by two convicted murderers, Richard Matt and David Sweat, who had broken out with the help of smuggled power tools provided by a prison tailor, Joyce "Tillie" Mitchell.

The convicts manipulated Mitchell, who was lonely, to let them have the tools needed to drill into walls and underground tunnels.

Following a 22-day manhunt, the police found the escapes; in a firefight, Matt was killed, while Sweat was arrested. The television series not only unravelled the tension-filled plot, which is the escape, but also defines intricate relationships between Matt, Sweat and Mitchell.

Long-term planning, hardships with life on the run and ultimate fate are what make for a high-tension, presentation of a prison breakout in Escape at Dannemora.
