Francis Annan makes his feature film directorial debut with the fantastic Escape From Pretoria. The film charts the unbelievable true story of two political prisoners during the Apartheid in South Africa. These brave men join forces with another inmate to hatch a daring escape from the prison.

White anti-apartheid activists escape from not-quite-Alcatraz in Escape From Pretoria, Francis Annan's account of a real 1979 jailbreak in South Africa. Their cause was righteous and their methods ingenious, but as tension mounts in this film's telling, one starts to wonder: Why don't they just bonk that lone, incompetent nighttime jailer on his head and use his keys to spring all their comrades from the pen as well? Star Daniel Radcliffe will be the biggest draw here, but the pic's focus on planning and genre mechanics over personalities may limit its appeal for his fans.
