This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed The Maze Runner, which featured a pretty interesting escape with it’s main characters which made us think about some other great movie escapes we’ve seen in the past. There are some classic one’s for sure as well as others you may not have thought of. It probably also depends on how you define “escape”, but either way, there’s no denying that watching someone plan an escape and use their intellect to get out of a bad situation is a lot of fun to watch.
That being said, what movie escapes would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours (Keep in mind we all have different criteria for our lists as well):
JD
1) The Shawshank Redemption
2) Gravity
3) The Great Escape
Blake
