Or will Joe gain everything in the end?
But it's also a place where 1954: Alcatraz can also pay homage to history and zeitgeist, in form of the Beatnik culture and other contemporary themes. Joe's doing 40 years on Alcatraz for a heist on an armored truck. The cinematic San Francisco of the 1950s, caught in a gritty comic style is a harsh place. Will Christine deceive her husband, taking revenge for all the disappointments and a marriage that brought her nothing but hardship? 1954: Alcatraz offers all what makes a great adventure: challenging puzzles, a mature crime story with a dynamic plot and various possible outcomes, and a whole bunch of shady characters: brutal felons, making life on The Rock even harder for Joe, while outside not only his partners-in-crime but also snoops and cops are after the money and Christine.
