Breaking out (Swedish title: Vägen ut) is a Swedish drama/comedy film from 1999, starring Björn Kjellman, Shanti Roney, Peter Haber, Viveka Seldahl and Michael Nyqvist.
Story
The film is about stage actor Reine who quits his job because he is tired of his boss messing people around. He takes a job at the Kumla Prison in hope that he can set up a play acted by the prisoners. The prisoners are not very interested until five of them realize that if they agree to do the play, they can escape while at a theatre. As the plot evolves, the actors are to various degrees forced to weigh this to their strengthening desire to do the play.
