Brenden Abbott was never meant to live an ordinary life. Using his razor-sharp mind, the notorious West Australian bank robber pulls off the perfect heist, and for a fleeting moment, his dream of a future with his first love, Jackie, feels within reach. When a betrayal lands him in the brutal Fremantle Prison, Abbott sets into motion one of the most brazen and daring prison escapes in Australian history and sparks a nationwide manhunt. Based on Derek Pedley's book "Australian Outlaw: The True Story of Postcard Bandit Brenden Abbott" (6x55min)
