Last Rampage
Last Rampage is a 2017 American crime drama film directed by Dwight H. Little. The screenplay by Alvaro Rodriguez and Jason Rosenblatt is based on the non-fiction book Last Rampage: The Escape of Gary Tison by University of Arizona Political Science Professor James W. Clarke, and details the true story of Tison's 1978 prison escape and subsequent murders.[2] The film stars Robert Patrick as Tison (who also produced the film), Heather Graham as his wife Dorothy, and Chris Browning as his accomplice Randy Greenawalt. Bruce Davison plays a fictional law enforcement official pursuing Tison (a composite of several real-world individuals), and Alex MacNicoll, Skyy Moore, and Casey Thomas Brown portray Tison's three sons.
