Daniel Radcliffe is almost unrecognisable in this movie thriller based on a real-life 1979 escape bid by anti-apartheid prisoners from a brutal South African jail.

The Harry Potter star plays Tim Jenkin, who along with fellow activists Stephen Lee (Daniel Webber) and Denis Goldberg (Ian Hart), begins secretly crafting a set of wooden keys to unlock the steel cell doors that keep them from freedom.
