Inconvenient Hippocratic Oath | |
| Escape Plan / int_125f2ee7 | comment |
Inconvenient Hippocratic Oath: Breslin appeals to Dr. Kyrie's better nature, provides proof of his real identity, and reminds him of his oath in order to secure him as an ally in the plot to escape the Tomb. | |

Dragon-in-Chief: Hobbes is used by Lester to hold Ray but is easily the biggest threat in the film. The vast majority of the plot is devoted to the battle between he and Ray, while after Hobbes' death, Lester is easily subdued. | |

Punishment Box | |
| Escape Plan / int_165d6f53 | comment |
Punishment Box: The Solitary Confinement cells in the Tomb take this up to 11. On top of being a small cramped space that's only slightly bigger than a casket, a set of powerful halogen lamps switch on and off at a guards control, which causes a prisoner to dehydrate from the heat, and interfere with a prisoners sleep, due to their sheer brightness, and the loud buzzing of the lamps. | |

The Sociopath | |
| Escape Plan / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Hobbes, while nominally on the side of "The Law", fits into this like a comfortable pair of slippers. He displays an utter lack of concern for basic human dignity, or indeed the lives of prisoners and guards alike who he views as possessions rather than people, indulges in no real emotions except for taking a cold and analytic pleasure in absolute control and causing suffering (symbolized by his meticulously maintained and lifelessly-beautiful taxidermy butterfly collection), and is so disconnected from basic human feeling that he showed the same calm, almost amused, indifference to not only his hired men, but towards his own imminent fiery death at the film's end. | |

Faceless Goons: Hobbes' security force for The Tomb all wear identical, black masks shaped like human faces, to confuse the prisoners as to who is guarding them at any one moment and to prevent them from tracking shift changes. Breslin is still able to track them by their individual body language and other habits, though. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
| Escape Plan / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: Not checking the inmates for smuggled contraband after being interrogated or going to the infirmary. Considering Hobbes makes a point that he read Breslin's book and used it to shore up security, and Breslin often makes use of smuggled items to escape, this is a rather glaring omission. | |

The Jailer: Hobbes is warden of The Tomb: a privately run, off-the-books prison where individuals, corporations and governments can pay to have troublesome individuals 'disappeared'. There are no trials and no release dates. And because Wardens Are Evil, he enjoys exercising absolute power of his personal fiefdom. | |

Hellhole Prison | |
| Escape Plan / int_6116ca8d | comment |
Hellhole Prison: The Tomb seems to count. The guards will beat you and terrorize you for just for looking at them wrong and they are lead by their sadistic Captain Drake. If you're hurt, don't you expect to receive any proper medicine as Hobbs coldly denies the prisoners much needed medication for severe pain, make a wise crack to Hobbs and you basically get waterboarded with a HOSE and the most dreaded punishment that all of the prisoners hate is the Solitary Confinement wing called "The Box". The Box is small oubliette where a set of high-powered halogen lights are used to torture prisoners held there with sensory overload and sleep deprivation from the brightness and heat. When Breslin was thrown into solitary after he fought Rottmayer, the scene with his stay in solitary looked like the guards were essentially cooking him in an oven. | |

Prison Riot: Part of the escape plan is to distract guards with a riot, and use it as a cover to get out.

Chekhov's Classroom: Breslin's dialog at the top of this page. It ends up coming in just as handy in the Tomb. He gets the layout courtesy of breaking through a floor panel in the box and having Javed use a homemade sextant (disguised as the latter doing his prayers, which he uses to avoid getting caught) to learn their coordinates, they use personal tics to identify routine even with the guards having scrambled shifts and masks, and he gets help from inside thanks to Rottmayer and Dr. Kyrie. | |

The Alcatraz | |
| Escape Plan / int_b905c10c | comment |
The Alcatraz: The Tomb is designed to be completely escape-proof — the prisoners are drugged before being brought in, blindfolded when moved about, and are allowed no contact with or even visual access to the outside world; the cells are elevated and transparent, and surrounded almost completely by surveillance; the guards are masked and work in scrambled shifts so that the prisoners can't plan around their shifts; all the doors have magnetic locks in case of emergency; and to top it all off, the Tomb itself is built inside an oil tanker anchored in the middle of the ocean. | |

Surprise Vehicle | |
| Escape Plan / int_be1e5f7e | comment |
Surprise Vehicle: A helicopter is approaching the ship as part of the Great Escape. The ship captain is surveying the sea when the chopper suddenly rises into his field of view, startling him. However, there is no sound of rotors until they are visible. | |

Neck Snap | |
| Escape Plan / int_c2fc1ae | comment |
Neck Snap: Breslin kills Drake by throwing him down a flight of metal stairs, breaking his neck (and judging by the pool of blood, also cracking his skull). | |

Gunship Rescue | |
| Escape Plan / int_c558da6a | comment |
Gunship Rescue: During the final escape, the allies of Breslin and Rottmayer send a armed helicopter to pick them up. The heavy machine guns provide useful suppressing fire that forces the guards to keep their heads down (and kills several of them). | |

Big Bad Wannabe | |
| Escape Plan / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: Although technically the main antagonist of the film, Clark is helpless to do anything without Hobbes doing the work for him and as soon as Hobbes is killed, Clark is easily dealt with. | |

Heroic Willpower | |
| Escape Plan / int_c696f3ba | comment |
Heroic Willpower: Javed takes an improbably large number of bullets to the mid-section before going down, all to buy Rottmayer and Breslin the time they need. And he already had a bullet in the side to start. | |

The Nicknamer | |
| Escape Plan / int_c83cd6b8 | comment |
The Nicknamer: Rottmayer has nicknames for all of the Tomb's guards based on various personal habits and ticks. For example, "Hives" (because he's always scratching his neck), "Chickenman" (because he's always looking around), and "Louisa" (because "his fat ass reminds me of my first girlfriend"). | |

Battle of Wits | |
| Escape Plan / int_ef276485 | comment |
Battle of Wits: A large portion of the film is one of these between Breslin and Hobbes. Hobbes seems to relish the opportunity match wits with him. Breslin wins. Hobbes' last act seems to indicate that he accepts his defeat gracefully. | |

Underside Ride | |
| Escape Plan / int_f3894c02 | comment |
Underside Ride: In the breakout at the beginning of the film, Breslin wears a firefighter uniform and hitches a ride under a firetruck, only to emerge undisturbed while the actual firemen put out the fire caused by one of his accomplices outside. | |

| Escape Plan / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: No matter how deep the draft or the stabilizers involved, the prisoners would eventually realize they were on a ship. Occasionally, any ship not bolted to the bottom of the ocean gets buffeted by a little unexpected movement the people on board can feel, even in the Horse Latitudes. Statistically, some of the prisoners would have had some sailing experience and recognize it. However, it's a film, and this ship obviously has a few tricks up her sleeve in-universe. | |
