In crime movies, thrillers, or TV shows about police, any time a convoy transporting a prisoner or a group of prisoners is shown, it will almost always be ambushed by a criminal gang, either to free an imprisoned gang leader or take out a rival gang member. Sometimes, a convoy may even be sent out to draw out the attackers. The vehicle may be a police van, bus, or armored car. The security escort is often police cars or large SUVs. Occasionally, a convoy may not even need to be attacked. Something can go awry during the trip, such as a snowstorm or traffic accident, and the transports never make it to the jail. Alternatively, the prisoners may pick the locks on their shackles or feign illness, and then overpower the guards. The prisoners take advantage of the problem to escape. This leads naturally to a second act in the story, as now the prisoners are on the run wearing a prison uniform and with no supplies, facing a huge police dragnet and roadblocks. The ambush can be prevented with a Decoy Convoy (or two, or three, or...), by increasing the size of convoy's security escort, or using a heavily-armed SWAT unit to protect the convoy. For video games, this trope only applies if the player attacks a convoy. If the player is tasked with defending one, it's an Escort Mission. Compare and contrast Armed Blag, where the target convoy is transporting money or valuables rather than a prisoner. Examples |

An episode of The Pretender starts with a news report of this, which kidnapped the key witness in a mafia trial. The attack was planned by Jarod himself, who was told the aim was to rescue prisoners in a war. | |

Operation Daybreak. Even though Reinhard Heydrich's staff car is escorted by an armoured car and two troop vehicles, he's still more vulnerable there than in his home or office. Fortunately on the day of his assassination Heydrich is running late for his flight, so he tells his chauffeur to speed up, leaving his escort behind. | |

24: At the end of season 5, this is how Bierko escapes. Also, at the end of season 8, the ambulance convoy carrying Jack Bauer (who has been shot) is attacked by a team sent to drag him to a remote area to execute him. 24 uses this straight but also double-subverts it during Season 8. Jack sends an ambulance carrying a captured villain to a hospital for treatment and interrogation, expecting that the villain's business partners will attack it to kill him and prevent him from talking to CTU. Unknown to them, the villain is already dead, and the ambulance is sent as a mobile bait. However, thinking that they are safer attacking the hospital once the villain is carried there, the partners leave the ambulance alone. |

In some of the Grand Theft Auto games there is at least one mission where the player must attack a convoy: In III, the main target in the convoy is an ambulance. And of course, in the very beginning, the prisoner convoy that carries the main character is attacked by drug cartels. In Vice City, the player has to steal the tank from a miltary convoy. In IV, Niko has to attack a prisoner convoy. In a twist, though, he's meant to kill the prisoner being transported after getting them to safety. |

Daredevil (2015): In the season 1 finale, the convoy transporting Wilson Fisk to jail is ambushed by mercenaries on his payroll who have been hired to bust him out. Fisk is then spirited away by his men, but Matt Murdock stops him before he can get too far, and Brett Mahoney apprehends Fisk and takes him back into custody. In the second episode of season 3, Fisk hires Jasper Evans to shank him and make it look like he's in danger for snitching on the Albanians, so that the FBI will move him into the protection of his own Presidential Hotel. While the convoy is transporting him there, though, the Albanians make an attempt of their own on Fisk. They take out his escort cars, then gun down the FBI agents as they try to protect their prisoner, killing five of them and wounding several more. They almost succeed at killing Fisk before they are all killed themselves by Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter. Nadeem and Dex proceed to escort Fisk the rest of the way to the hotel, while Matt learns of Fisk's release as he's at Riverbank Medical Center when ambulances arrive ferrying the wounded agents from the ambush scene. Dex's sharpshooting skills during the attack intrigue Fisk, who begins working on turning the FBI agent into his personal assassin starting the very next day. |

In Civil War (2006), a convoy of captured resistance members is attacked as it passes through the streets of NYC in an attempt to free the prisoners. The ensuing chaos, where neither side seems all that interested or concerned with the safety of nearby civilians on his old block, is the final straw as far as the ever-loving blue-eyed Thing is concerned. He walks away from the conflict in disgust and spends the rest of the civil war in Europe, fighting crime and hanging out with some Euro-heroes. | |

In Strike Back, Stonebridge and Scott are escorting a van transporting a prisoner when the van is blown up. They were Genre Savvy enough to put the prisoner in the trunk of their car instead. | |

In Fable, the Adventure Guild has two Sidequests to this effect: The Evil version of "Execution Tree" has the Hero fight his way through City Guards to rescue a bandit leader who's being escorted to the headsman's block. The Good version is the Escort Mission. "Bandit Spy Extraction" quest is a variant: you're retrieving The Mole from a trader caravan, so the guards are hostile to you from the beginning, but only hostile to your target when you reach him and blow his cover. |

In XCOM 2, you play as La Résistance against the ADVENT Coalition, and sometimes, they have captured a resistance scientist, engineer, or one of your own MIA soldiers. Your mission is then to release the captive VIP and lead them to extraction. | |

This is used multiple times in Burn Notice, though it is usually subverted. In one episode, the team attacks a prisoner transport van to free a gangster's brother, but the van and the guards are fake, and they are trying to trick the gangster into releasing the hostage he is holding. Another time, Micheal pretends to be a fellow prisoner and helps a mobster escape during transport so that the mobster can lead them to where his boss is hiding. | |
