Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about the limits of human ingenuity – and primate persistence. Dan Aykroyd returns this Friday with another mind-bending episode of “The UnBelievable,” and “Astonishing Escapes” more than lives up to its name.
From a prison break fueled by nothing more than a strategically deployed stone fruit to a Soviet pilot who pulls off a daring escape in the enemy’s own plane, these are the kinds of stories that make you wonder if reality is just a suggestion.
And it’s not just humans who yearn for freedom. This episode also tells the tale of a primate who simply refuses to be caged. We don’t know the details yet, but knowing this show, this escape is certainly outside the realm of the ordinary, it should be an interesting tale.
Aided by dynamic recreations, sharp graphics, and compelling archival material, “The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd” consistently takes the strange-but-true and makes it unforgettable. Tune in to the History Channel this Friday at 9:00 PM ET for “Astonishing Escapes,” and prepare to have your notions of what’s possible turned upside down.
