A forensically planned sequence of events is about to be triggered...

Across 10 twisting and turning episodes, Carlo Gebler navigates a path through the disturbing inside story of the 1983 escape from Northern Ireland's Maze Prison - the biggest ever to take place on British or Irish soil. As former IRA inmates reveal how they pulled off a mass jailbreak that creates shockwaves at the heart of government - key security personnel explain why they're unable to stop them. But can anyone ever really Escape from the Maze?
