Another book along these lines is Eric Norden’s alternate-history novel The Ultimate Solution, which ends with the Nazi-dominated half of the world about to initiate a nuclear exchange with the Japanese-dominated half of the world.
Breaking Into a High Security Prison

I gave this question to my crew today, we had a good discussion. What’s your thoughts?
Note: the Predators are not carrying small nuclear weapons for this job :?

That was easy! Boba Fett of course! what were you thinking?!
Two Predators :hmm they may kill the prisoner to free as well, lack of understanding.
Two T-800 Terminators :better choice, reprogrammed and ready to go, but they may fail because they might get the guns stuck between the bars, what follows is syntax errorrrrrrr
Chuck Norris, John Rambo and Lara Croft:good choice but not the best,they are no team players so the end up being with their skils in the other ones way
Bruce Wayne/ Batman:He may not take on this Job ,because its not in his hometown Gotham. :-D :-D
Nice poll ABWorsham!
-
Arnie always has a special place in my heart, so I feel confident going on my mission with two T-800s.
Also in honor of Escape Plan there should be an option for having Stallone and Schwarzenegger on the inside to help you out.

Having a rocket on your back is a plus

“to break into a highly secure prison to secure and remove a prisoner”
Is there a requirement that the prisoner be removed alive or is there any operational flexibility on this point?

@CWO:

And speaking of operational requirements does this need to be done quietly? What sort of collateral damage limits are we looking at? Why is the prisoner in the prison/What sort of cooperation can be expected from the prisoner? What are our time limitations? High security federal prison or high security we’d lock super-villains up there?
-
What sort of cooperation can be expected from the prisoner?
Good point. An interesting parallel here is the 1933 Kansas City Massacre, in which a gang of gunmen staged an attack at a train station for the alleged purpose of freeing Frank “Jelly” Nash, a mobster who was being transported in the custody of several federal agents. The shoot-out not only left four law enforcement officers dead, it also resulted in Nash being killed too. As the commentary track to the movie G-Men mentions, there’s some speculation that the real aim of the attack wasn’t to free Nash but to silence him before he could tell the cops everything he knew – in which case the attack was a brilliant success.
-
Prisoner must remain alive and damage to property and personal is of no consequence.
-
Definitely Batman. tho it was a very hard choice
-
Predators have personal cloaks, silent weapons, AND A CLOAKED MOTHERF*N SHIP! Definite choice.
Terminator isn’t even going to get in the front gate, and batmans going to be too busy trying to stop his leathers from squeaking in the shower.
Also… we’ve see how well Boba Fett escorts “prisoners” alive. I mean, talk about a great job at the Sarlaac pit…
-
I will take the two Terminators.

@ABWorsham:

Okay. Still going with Batman. Most of the others are blunt instruments and I tend to think finesse is usually the better option. Good chance Bats would have 'em back by morning roll call depending on why the prisoner was needed.
Lara and Rambo would just slow Chuck down.
The Predators and T-800’s would make a mess and likely let other prisoners that we preferred not be loose out.
The Fett? Maybe. Being on to one old smuggler’s trick isn’t really a stellar resume although I suppose we could assume a well earned reputation since Vader hired him at all. Cad Bane would be my pick before Fett.

It’s simply a matter of making it worthwhile for him. If I recall correctly from the carbonite-freezing scene, Boba Fett was concerned that Han Solo might not survive because “he’s worth nothing to me dead”. The novelization (I think) has the slightly different rationale that Jabba the Hutt pays double when the guy with a price on his head is delivered alive.

@aequitas:

You mean, Boba Fett, the man who died because a partially blind man accidently knocked the fire button on his jet pack with the back of an axe, then fell into a giant hole in the desert?
Yeah, that’s the guy I want to break me out of prison…
Let me give you an update:
But the Sarlacc could never hold Fett. Thanks to his iron will and Mandalorian armor, Fett was able to fight his way out of the beast’s belly, killing the Sarlacc.
So I would say HE is the man for this Job!! 8-)
If anybody is able and will finish the Job then it is most Def. BOBA FETT :-D -
The option to choose Chuck Norris, John Rambo and Lara Croft reminds me of an old joke about a fictitious (and extremely short) radio play called “Dinner Time” starring Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The script goes like this:
Stallone: Duh, pass me da butter, willya?
Norris: Here you go.
Schwarzenegger: Hey, watch it you idiot!
Norris: What’d you call me?
(overlapping sounds of multiple machine-gun fire) -
The Fett talk reminds me, I have no doubt he will be revived since Disney wants to make character-centric films now that they’ve bought the SW universe. We can expect to see Fett & Yoda themed flicks.
Also I still need to see Expendables 2 since I’ve heard it’s a lot better than the first and Chuck is in it as well. The cast for the third one looks great, it’s added Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Bandera and Kelsey Grammer.

The only reason the Predators would even consider to help us lowly creatures, would be so that they could hunt us and the person they helped escape for sport.
So my answer would have to be Batman. Knock out a few guards, toss a holographic image of the inmate in their cell, sneak out. Job done.

Predators are free to take prisoners and prison staff for hunting purposes.

General Veers, They have indeed announced the first star wars spin offs. Han Solo and Boba Fett…

Chuck, John and Lara. I’m not saying we’ll succeed, but I’ll have much better company than you guys.
