Did the Taliban watch too many action movies?

Have you seen this description of the start of an action movie? How cliche. The only question is if the rest of the movie is about one of the innocent people who had been in the prison escaping (kind of con-air style) or if it is about the action hero who was trying to save someone specific or if it is about trying to round up all the worst offenders or if it is BSG style where the prisoners are the side the audience sides with and they will be flying away in spaceships. It is a bit weird that they are combining two movie cliches by also having a flash back to prisoners getting out of the prison by tunneling out. Oh, what's that, this was all for real? Whoa - crazy! Well, still a hunger strike seems a bit cliche even for real life. Oh, you say they stitched their lips together with needle and thread to show they are determined not to eat. Ok, that's a new twist.
