Daniel Radcliffe's new true-crime movie, Escape from Pretoria will hit cinemas in a matter of weeks - and it looks *so* thrilling.
The film sees the Harry Potter actor star as Tim Jenkin, an apartheid activist serving time in a maximum security jail. Now, Signature Entertainment has given us all a sneak peek after releasing a set of promotional images from the film.
The movie is based on the true-story of Jenkin, who was branded a terrorist and imprisoned in South Africa in the late seventies. But just 18 months into his sentence and along with two other freedom fighters (played by Mark Leonard Winter and Daniel Webber) Jenkin makes his escape from jail.

Incredibly, the three men used wooden keys they had painstakingly handcrafted to unlock the prison doors.
There are 10 steel exits standing between the prisoners and their freedom and after months of surveillance, plotting and planning, on 11th December 1979 they finally put their plan into action.
In the trailer, we see the prisoners racing against time and with setbacks, twists and turns, it certainly seems like it's going to be a gripping watch. We're fully expecting to be on the edge of our seats the entire time.

The new images show Daniel Radcliffe looking almost unrecognisable, with long hair, a beard and in many shots - handcuffed in chains.
Other photos show the men arriving at the prison, as well as action-shots of the men plotting - and carrying out - their escape.
We also see other actors including Ian Hart, known for his roles as Quirinus Quirrell in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone or Rabbit in the BBC drama miniseries One Summer, as well as Nathan Page (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries), Stephen Hunter (The Hobbit) and Jeanette Cronin (Secret City).
The film was directed by British director Francis Annan and produced by David Barron (Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella, Harry Potter).
