Upon learning that the tunnel was 20 feet short of the woods, Hilts comes up with the plan of using a rope signal to tell the escapees when it was safe to exit the tunnel, which Roger agrees to and orders 30 feet of rope to be sent down the tunnel.However, this would be too short a length of rope to be used. As stated in the beginning of the film, the tunnels were at a depth of 30 feet (to prevent probing and sound detection). While not explicitly stated in the film, the real-life tunnel exit was also 30 feet down, as the prisoners didn't want to dig in a gentle up-slope for fear of the dirt trolleys derailing and causing a cave-in. Therefore, Roger should have ordered 50 feet of rope.
