Plot: This is a true-to-life story about the Lopez-Osmeña great escape from the Marcos Martial Law prison. Serge Osmeña (Richard Gomez) and Geny Lopez (Christopher de Leon) are among the political prisoners of the Marcos Regime; they are wrongly accused of plotting to assassinate Marcos. The Osmeña and Lopez clan virtually surrenders their economic empires to the Marcos Regime in exchange for their son's freedom but to no avail. Thus, Osmeña and Lopez are left with no choice but plan for their great escape.
