«El Hombre de Alcatraz» is the 1962 movie by John Frankenheimer, starring Burt Lancaster, Karl Malden and Thelma Ritter, on DVD.
Robert Stroud, a convict held in Alcatraz, finds an injured sparrow in the prison yard and decides to care for it in his cell.

The film follows his transformation and his determination to preserve his dignity in a very harsh prison regime.
