Plot Synopsis

THE GREAT ESCAPISTS is a 45-minute docuseries that follows Richard Hammond and Tory Belleci after the duo find themselves shipwrecked on a remote yet beautiful desert island, where they must use their smarts and what's left of their shipwreck to survive and thrive. Rather than sitting around waiting to be rescued, the pair take matters into their own hands and use their engineering and expert scientific prowess to escape the island and even make their island life better. From a fully working tank to a three-story treehouse on the seafront, life is pretty sweet. But will their inventions help them escape, or keep them stuck forever in paradise? Amazon Prime released the entire six-episode first season early morning on Friday, January 29, 2021.
