Movie enthusiasts would perhaps remember Escape from Alcatraz, a 1979 movie based on a true story of the breakout attempt by Anglin brothers, John and Clarence, and Frank Morris to escape the then inescapable prison to escape.

The film directed by Don Siegel and featuring Clint Eastwood indicates that the trio used stolen spoons to chip the wall around the air vents in their cells using stolen spoons and used accordions they played during music classes to hide their progress.
