There have been a number of fan-made films inspired by Portal, but Dan Trachtenberg's Portal: No Escape blows them all away. The video is already closing in on four million views on YouTube after only three days, so you better believe that this one is something special.

And while we're at it, you might also want to note that the second part of Escape From City 17 has been posted, too. This one is based on Half Life 2, another well-known Valve release. As the blurb on YouTube says:

A story about the connection that grows between two people during the battle for city 17. Made in the same gritty guerrilla style as the original, it was made on a $250 budget, previously owned/donated software, time, and an HVX200 camera.
