I just watched The Blues Brothers for the first time and really loved the conceit of the story being about Jake getting released from prison and going on a 'mission from God' with his brother.
It got me thinking about using the story device of a hero character beginning the film and his/her journey with coming out of prison to enter the real world again. In this case, it's mostly used as a comedic device to preface the comedy we are about to engage with.
However, I feel as though there must be dramas out there that also utilize this storytelling device? But I'm at a standstill while trying to think of any.
What are other flicks where the story begins with someone leaving prison after a stint?
