Imprisonment, kidnapping, and border crossings are frequently seen as important elements of escape films, and many, like The Great Escape and Escape from Alcatraz, revolve entirely around the attempts of captives to be free. Usually escape films involve the audience in the plight of either a wrongly accused man or an attractive criminal, and while most escape films are made simply to entertain, some of them, like Jean Renoir's Grand Illusion or Robert Bresson's A Man Escaped, managed to combine an escape plot with bigger statements about human nature and freedom.
