Last Rampage is a 2017 American crime drama film directed by Dwight 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 (who also produced the film) as Tison, 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.
The events were previously depicted in A Killer in the Family, starring Robert Mitchum as Gary Tison, with James Spader, Eric Stoltz and Lance Kerwin as his sons.
The film tells the true story of the infamous prison break of Gary Tison and Randy Greenawalt from the Arizona State prison in Florence, AZ in the summer of 1978.
L.A. Times reviewer Michael Rechtshaffen called Robert Patrick "brutally effective" in a positive review of the film.[3]
