In March 1993, Peter Gibb and Archie Butterly dynamited their way out of Melbourne Remand Centre with explosives provided by the former's prison guard lover, Heather Parker. This film based on their exploits does them something of a disservice, as the romance and the meticulous planning of the break always feel like far-fetched fiction, while their time on the run is disappointingly short of tension - especially considering that director Richard Franklin made his name with the thriller Roadgames (1981). Peter Phelps, Chris Haywood and Rachel Blakely give competent performances as the three fugitives, but they aren't particularly convincing as desperate criminals.

Based on a true story, One Way Ticket is about a criminal named Webb. He has been arrested for murder and looks like he will be spending the rest of his days behind bars before he has an affair with a female guard. She helps him escape and they spend the next few days on the run. Can they make it?
