Directed by Francis Annan, the film tells the true story of two white men classified as terrorists who were imprisoned in 1978. Both made history when they escaped from the maximum security prison in Pretoria (capital of Southern Africa).
Running for just under two hours (101 minutes), the prison and racism drama is inspired by the book Escape Inside Out: from Pretoria Prison, by South African author Tim Jenkin. The latter worked closely with the filmmaker in charge of the production to take care of every detail that happened in real life.

On the other hand, Noel Murray of Los Angeles TimesHe opined: “It helps that director Francis Annan keeps the action focused on the mechanics of escape and not on big political speeches.” Guy Lodge of VarietyHe added that it works effectively as a prison break thriller, “well-oiled in the greasy B-movie tradition. It’s when it aims for greater historical significance that it falls a bit short.”
Escape from Pretoria is an intense drama film in which its director invites the viewer to witness the violence and injustice to which Tim Jenkin and Stephen Lee were subjected. It is available in the HBO Max catalog.
