escape by night (1964)

aka Clash By Night.
"They'll have to know now, it'll be in the papers."
A prisoner transport is hijacked by a gang trying to free a gang boss. Whilst he makes off, the others are locked in a barn, and threatened that if they try to escape the place will be set on fire. Salvation may come in the form of the police, who having found the escaped prisoner dead, are trying to find the missing bus and its passengers.
Low budget thriller, that replays all the usual clichés, (and actors, inc Terence Longdon, Peter Sallis, Harry Fowler, & Alan Wheatley), but still entertains despite its flaws.
