Listen Later

In the cold, early hours of June 12th, 1962, as the biting wind swept across the chilling waters of the San Francisco Bay, an audacious chapter was being etched into the annals of American history. The setting was Alcatraz - a stark, unforgiving federal prison, ominously known as "The Rock," which boasted an undefeated record of confining the country's most notorious criminals. Its isolated location, surrounded by the treacherous currents of the icy bay, painted a bleak picture of hopelessness for anyone dreaming of escape. But on this fateful day, three daring inmates - Frank Morris and the brothers John and Clarence Anglin - dared to challenge the impossible.

The audacious plan, the suspenseful breakout, the feverish manhunt, and the lingering enigma of their fate have transformed this episode into a captivating saga, blurring the boundaries between fact and myth. A mere whisper of the words "Escape from Alcatraz" triggers a cascade of thrilling intrigue, vivid theories, and undying fascination. 

This is the tale of a daring jailbreak that shook America, an unresolved mystery that continues to baffle the world, and an enduring legend that refuses to fade. As we delve deeper, remember, every shadow has a story, every silence carries a secret, and every man - no matter how confined - dreams of freedom. Welcome to the riveting history of the June 1962 escape from Alcatraz.
