In a daring operation worthy of a movie, three men escaped from a Canadian jail by helicopter, prompting a massive manhunt, authorities said.
It marks the second brazen jail escape in Canada in a little more than a year.
In March 2013, two men posing as tourists commandeered a helicopter from a Canadian tour company, ordered the pilot to fly over a detention center near Montreal, hoisted two inmates into the hovering aircraft using cables -- and zipped away.

The escaped inmates must have been caught with a large quantity of drugs.

The first two men were arrested in a drug bust in 2010 and were awaiting trial.

Sounds like the court system in the USA.

Aren't there a couple of movies about that? Isn't an old on based on a prison break about 50 years ago?
