Summaries

When two humorously polar opposite young men in 1972 accidentally escape from a Texas prison just 3 days prior to their parole hearing in a falsely accused sentence, they have no choice but to make the exhausting 400 mile trip back. Their adventure starts off in action and never lets up. They encounter waterfalls, bounty hunters, trains, planes and much more as they try desperately to get BACK TO PRISON before their parole date. This film is brilliantly filled with physical comedy and action scenes inspired by the great silent filmmakers such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. A true comedy treat.—Patrick Wayne
