Background

Altracraz Prison

There is an Alcatraz Island
off the coast of San Francisco, California.

On this small island

It was closed in 1963.

Now, the prison is a major tourist attraction.

And nowadays, Alcatraz means the Alcatraz Prison.

A flim was made in 1979,
called "Escape from Alcatraz"

It was a story of 3 inmates

The film was a success
and well-known to this day throughout the world.
