Prison interiors were filmed at the Old Police Cells Museum in Brighton and the Police Cells at The Island in Bristol, UK. Exterior footage and some additional interior shots were filmed at the actual prison in Alcatraz, San Francisco, which is now a tourist attraction.
Several versions of the events of the Battle of Alcatraz have previously been depicted on film: 'Brute Force' (1947) - Starring Burt Lancaster. Although inspired by the events, this is a highly fictionalized account of an attempted prison break. It was unusual at the time for the level of violence it portrayed. 'Birdman of Alcatraz' (1962) - Again starring Burt Lancaster, this film briefly depicts a largely fictional version of the battle which, from the start, is portrayed as a full-scale riot rather than a discrete escape attempt. Robert Stroud, the "Birdman of Alcatraz", is given unwarranted credit for ending the conflict. 'Alcatraz: The Whole Shocking Story' (1980) - A factually based TV drama of the events incorporated into a larger narrative of the history of Alcatraz as seen through the eyes of its youngest prisoner, Clarence Carnes. 'Six Against the Rock' (1987) - Starring David Carradine as Bernard Coy, based on the semi-fictional book by Clark Howard.
Because Alcatraz cost much more to operate than other prisons (nearly $10 per prisoner per day, as opposed to $3 per prisoner per day at Atlanta), and half a century of salt water saturation had severely eroded the buildings, then Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy ordered the penitentiary closed on March 21, 1963. In addition, citizens were increasingly protesting the environmental effects of sewage released into San Francisco Bay from the approximately 250 inmates and 60 Bureau of Prisons families on the island.
Alcatraz was a maximum high-security federal prison located on Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco bay. It operated from 1934 to 1963, and had a reputation for being impossible to escape from. As a result, it housed some of the most notorious and high-profile prisoners, in particular ones who had a history of escape attempts.
The story of the film is based on the real life Battle of Alcatraz, which lasted from May 2 to 4, 1946, and was the result of an unsuccessful escape attempt at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. Two corrections officers were killed along with three of the inmates. Eleven corrections officers and one uninvolved convict were also injured. Two of the surviving convicts were later executed for their roles in the doomed escape. One of the convicts involved, Clarence Carnes (who at the time was the youngest prisoner in Alcatraz history), did eventually get released from prison in 1973. However, he breached his parole conditions, was sent back to prison and died there in 1988.
