Birdman of Alcatraz

1962 147 min NR Drama · Crime · History

Inside the rock called Alcatraz they tried to chain a volcano they called 'The Bird Man'!

You find yourself locked in a cell so small the light feels borrowed. Then one day a sparrow falls at your feet and you cradle it like a secret. Before long you're raising birds that know your voice better than the guards do. The warden watches as your cages grow louder than his prison ever was.

Directed by John Frankenheimer · Written by Guy Trosper

Starring Burt Lancaster, Karl Malden, Thelma Ritter, Neville Brand, Betty Field, Telly Savalas
