Breakout is a 1975 action film starring Charles Bronson, Jill Ireland, Robert Duvall, John Huston, and Randy Quaid.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The character portrayed by John Huston frames the character portrayed by Robert Duvall - in order to keep him silent, Duvall is incarcerated in a Mexican prison.
Duvall's wife Ireland is unhappy at this turn of events and hires the Charles Bronson character (a pilot in Brownsville, Texas) to fly into the prison and rescue Duvall.
