About
You can stream Le Trou (1960) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.
Four prison inmates have been hatching a plan to literally dig out of jail when another prisoner, Claude Gaspard, is moved into their cell. They take a risk and share their plan with the newcomer. Over the course of three days, the prisoners and friends break through the concrete floor using a bed post and begin to make their way through the sewer system – yet their escape is anything but assured.
A single bedpost becomes a desperate tool for survival as four men claw through concrete in a race against time. The suffocating claustrophobia of the cell makes every inch of progress feel like a hard-won victory.
