Deux hommes courent sur la plage à l'aube. Ils ont les mains liées derrière le dos. Au même moment, un hélicoptère survole frénétiquement les environs. MacConnachie et Ansell sont deux évadés qui, pour tenter d'échapper à leurs geôliers, doivent traverser des paysages sauvages et inhospitaliers. Pour cela, ils vont devoir affronter de nombreux obstacles pour survivre et échapper au mystérieux hélicoptère noir qui traque leurs moindres mouvements... (Carlotta Films)

In terms of location and cinematography, Figures in a Landscape is an absolutely captivating project in which a straightforward story about two prisoners on the run from somewhere to anywhere dissolves into an existential parable about escape in all of its possible meanings and connotations – from prison, from guilt, from society and the system, and from oneself. Losey stated that he (or rather Shaw, who wrote the screenplay) intentionally separated the film adaptation from the specificity of the source work in terms of the historical and geographical setting in order to get to the substance of a universal treatise on the general levels of the situation involving the escape of two men who are different from each other across a land that is hostile to them in a number of respects.
