Alcatraz (Season 1)

Alcatraz (2012) is an American sci-fi crime series you can watch online on iFILM. When the famous island prison closed in March 1963, the official record said 302 inmates and 46 guards were transferred out. The truth: they vanished. No transfers. No explanations.

Fifty years later, former prisoners start turning up in present-day San Francisco — unchanged, unaged, and dangerous. Detective Maddie Madsen (Sarah Jones), Alcatraz expert and comic-book author Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia), and federal agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill) quietly investigate each reappearance, trying to piece together where these people went and who sent them back. The series was produced by J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot and aired on Fox.

One season, 13 episodes — and the central mystery was never resolved before cancellation, which is worth knowing. Each episode works as a standalone case, and the prison-island atmosphere stays consistent throughout. Stream all episodes of Alcatraz (2012) online on iFILM.
