I may be wrong, but I remember the movie said he was captured in the 70s? But he was locked up for 30 years? Does that mean the movie takes place in the 00s? And how is his daughter onlylike 18? Confused.

He escaped from Alcatraz during that time, that's why they brought him in, he had inside knowledge about the place.
This can't be right. Since Alcatraz closed in '63. So his escape had to have been before then. In fact, not much of the movie since makes sense. Since Mason had microfilms with government secrets such as the JFK assassination and that was the reason they put him in prison for withholding those films. Yet JFK was assassinated after Alcatraz had closed, so none of the story makes any sense. -

He went to Alcatraz in 62 but escaped in 63. He then escaped from another high security prison later with no date given. He originally went to prison in 62 and the film is set in 96 which covers 34 years meaning that if he spent a total of 30 years in prison he must have spent four years on the run which is more than enough to get someone pregnant
