Synopsis
Coupable de meurtres, Robert Stroud est condamné à la réclusion à perpétuité dans la sinistre prison d'Alcatraz. Le forçat supporte difficilement les conditions de vie jusqu'au jour où il trouve un épervier blessé dans la cour de prison et décide de le soigner. Cet événement insignifiant va pourtant changer sa vie à jamais. Car, en dépit d'une éducation limitée, le prisonnier va devenir un ornithologue reconnu et donner ainsi, derrière les murs d'Alcatraz, un extraordinaire sens au mot liberté.
