The Man Who Escaped a 17-Story Prison Using Dental Floss

Описание: The Man Who Escaped a 17-Story Prison Using Dental Floss

In December 2012, two federal inmates carried out one of the most dangerous prison escapes ever attempted. Seventeen stories above the frozen streets of Chicago, they climbed out of a five-inch window, descended a 200-foot rope made of bedsheets and dental floss, and vanished into the night.

This is the true story of how Jose Banks and Kenneth Conley broke through reinforced concrete walls, fooled guards with decoys, built a homemade rope inside a federal prison, and risked their lives hanging in the dark—one frayed thread away from death.

But escaping the prison was only the beginning.
This documentary breaks down every step of the escape: the planning, the tools, the mistakes, the physics behind the rope, and the fatal decisions that followed. A story of ingenuity, desperation, and the brutal reality that even the most brilliant escape doesn’t always lead to freedom.
