Default 1962 Alcatraz escapees

Watched the television show about it last night and the evidence seems to support the claim that at least the 2 brothers made good on their escape eventually ending up in Brazil.

At least one of them escaped. I remember watching a documentary in the mid-90s where he returned to Alcatraz to help some FBI guys get inside. Think there was a hostage situation or something? Anyone remember?

I didn't see that but knew it was debated as to them making it or not.

At the very least, i know one of them made it as Clint Eastwood made it out alive.

That sounds just like a movie with Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage called "The Rock".
