00:00How do you escape a maximum security prison when your cell door is locked from the outside?
00:05In the movie Escape from Pretoria, a political prisoner realizes he cannot reach through the
00:09iron bars to unlock his own door. The engineers built the cage perfectly. So he builds a completely
00:14insane machine. He smothers a wooden broom handle, attaches a mechanical crank to it using a string
00:19and scrap wood and mounts a carved wooden key to the very end. In the dead of night, working
00:23entirely blind with a small mirror, he slides the broomstick through the bars and turns the lock
00:26from the outside. He defeats an impenetrable state fortress with a piece of garbage. Full,
00:30break down on epic lens.
