World Premiere TV Screening "Escape at Dannemora".

Presented by CBS Studios International

Hosted by Cynthia Littleton, Managing Editor Television, Variety

Directed and executive produced by Emmy® winner Ben Stiller, the SHOWTIME® limited series ESCAPE AT DANNEMORA is based on the stranger-than-fiction prison break in upstate New York in the summer of 2015 which spawned a statewide manhunt for two convicted murderers, aided in their escape by a married female prison employee who reportedly carried on months-long affairs with both men. Benicio Del Toro plays convicted murderer Richard Matt, an artistic yet intimidating force within the prison, who masterminds the escape. Patricia Arquette plays Tilly Mitchell, a working class wife and mother who supervises the prison tailor shop and becomes sexually involved with both men, ultimately assisting them in their escape. Paul Dano plays David Sweat, a convicted cop-killer who may have genuine feelings for Tilly and becomes a reluctant partner in Richard Matt’s plot. The cast also features Golden Globe® and Emmy nominee Bonnie Hunt, acclaimed actor Eric Lange and Emmy nominee David Morse. The series is written and executive produced by Brett Johnson and Oscar nominee Michael Tolkin. Bryan Zuriff, Bill Carraro, three-time Academy Award nominee Michael De Luca via Michael De Luca Productions, and Nicky Weinstock for Red Hour Productions also serve as executive producers.
