Daniel Radcliffe Wants To Break Free In Our Exclusive Escape From Pretoria Trailer

Nelson Mandela might be the most famous person from the ANC to deal with the psychological rigours of imprisonment, but he was released. The story of Tim Jenkin, a member of the same cause who was also sent to jail, sees him attempting escape. And now the story is told in Escape From Pretoria, a thriller starring Daniel Radcliffe. Check out our exclusive image above and a new trailer debuting right here.

Sent to the maximum security facility Pretoria in the 1970s for their anti-Apartheid activities, Jenkin and fellow ANC detainees Stephen Lee (Daniel Webber) and Denis Goldberg (Ian Hart) plot their escape. A daring plan is hatched, one that relies on ingenuity, craft and not a little luck.

Today, 11 December 2019 marks the 40th anniversary of the escape, which makes the trailer all that more timely. Director Francis Annan adapts Jenkin's book Inside Out: Escape From Pretoria Prison and the film will be out in the UK on 6 March.
