Talk about meeting cute. The handsome young man (Mel Gibson) bolts from his cell on Pittsburgh's death row and lands smack on top of the warden's beautiful wife (Diane Keaton). Ron Nyswaner's script is based on fact--a 1901 jailbreak masterminded by the young matriarch who had fallen in love with one of the convicts--but the tone is pure High Hollywood elegiac.

"The lay thing to implementing the systems," says Jeff Gibson director of Security at Digital Equipment Company. "If people don't change the passwords then if a computer manufacturer is making xyz's and every xyz has a password of 'hello' and someone knows he's talking to an xyz than he can gain entry," he adds. "The biggest single problem...
