Breakout is a 1959 British crime drama film directed by Peter Graham Scott and starring Lee Patterson, Hazel Court and Terence Alexander.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This moderately tense crime thriller distracts attention from the improbability of the escape preparations by skilful handing of background and detail.

"[3] Picturegoer wrote: "For the sake of British second features, let's hope Lee Patterson never gets into the big-star bracket.

Once again, he brings a firm, dramatic assurance to the character of an escape expert engaged to plan the break-out from prison of a confidence trickster.

The brisk acting of Patterson, William Lucas, Terence Alexander and Hazel Court skilfully disguises any weakness in the characterization.
