The Nazis, exasperated at the number of escapes from their prison camps by a relatively small number of Allied prisoners, relocate them to a high-security 'escape-proof' camp to sit out the remainder of the war. Undaunted, the prisoners plan one of the most ambitious escape attempts of World War II. Based on a true story.

"Although some of the facts differ, this film based on a mass escape of prisoners in a World War II POW Camp in 1944 was thrilling to watch. There are so many great actors in it: Steve McQueen, James Coburn, James Garner, Charles Bronson, and others. I was literally on the edge of my seat as I watched the seamless plot unfold. The acting is solid, and there are so many tense moments that make you nervous. But it is worth the watch."

"One of my favourite movies of all time. Remarkable cast and wonderful plot. I still to this day remember the ending. It was another one of those movies that left an indelible mark on me. It’s stuck with me all of my lifetime. It still remains today. Another movie on my list that’s 10 out of 10. I can’t imagine anyone who hasn’t seen it. "

"Love this movie! McQueen is the best! I love that scene after the escape when he's on his motorcycle. Don't like what happens right after, but don't want to spoil the movie. Charles Bronson and James Garner are also great!"

"An movie filled with a-list actors takes great liberties with the true story of Allied POWs escaping the “escape proof” prison during WW2."
