约瑟夫·罗西导演的带有黑色电影风格的犯罪片，国产观曾号称是英国电影史上最粗暴（toughest）的电影，国产观尽管以当代的标准来看本片尺度并说不上大，但对60年代英国监狱的详细描绘、出色的摄影、斯坦利·贝克优秀的表演以及动听的主题曲都让本片颇具看点。故事讲述前科犯约翰尼·巴尼恩出狱后，与黑帮成员迈克·卡特等人合作一起抢劫赌马场，但事后造人背叛，再次锒铛入狱，然而藏匿赃款之处只有巴尼恩一人知道。由于巴尼恩在A区混得风生水起，狱长故意将其调去B区，但在B区老大弗兰克·萨夫瑞恩的协助下，巴尼恩再次重返A区。在狱中得知迈克·卡特的势力已经越来越大，并为了找到赃款挟持了他的女友苏珊娜后，巴尼恩找萨夫瑞恩帮忙，打算越狱逃走阻止卡特。
回复 :A bit of color for once, all the better to see the red flags with, not to mention the obvious aerial file footage of Warsaw. The story concerns Jozef Malesa, the mason or bricklayer of the title. He was once the darling of the party, the son of two old party activists, a worker of heroic reputation, his own commitment to The Movement unquestioned. He was chosen to be destined for great things, specially educated and pushed forward to positions of responsibility in the Party. Eventually he decides, because of the ethical pressures which he feels from the obstructionism of the bureaucracy from above, he asks to return to be a simple bricklayer. He is disturbed with the way the Party deals with people, especially their lack of direct contact. He thinks workers know better than the leadership many times but that's not the way power flows. He is uncomfortable with the compromises to his idealism. He remains committed to social justice and joins his friends for the May Day rally where his comfort and confidence in his place in society cause him to defer to no man, certainly no rat faced men in overcoats with red armbands. His great pleasure in life moreover is laying brick. He finds the work satisfying and fulfilling which is why he was such an obviously superior worker in the first place.
