Alcatraz Island is a 1937 American drama film directed by William C. McGann and written by Crane Wilbur.

The film stars John Litel, Ann Sheridan, Mary Maguire, Gordon Oliver, Dick Purcell and Ben Welden.

He makes a deal with the prosecutor who will recommend a six month sentence in jail in exchange for a guilty plea.

Just as the guilty verdict is about to be read we discover that John’s convict friend is actually a FBI agent who has a recoding of the killer’s confession made just before he hanged himself.

Frank Nugent of The New York Times said, "This rough-and-ready outline may not convey it, but the film has a compact plot, smooth performances by John Litel and the little-known others, and a good bit of interesting material on the present residence of Al Capone.
