| Plot |
| In 1943, the Germans opened Stalag Luft North, a maximum security prisoner-of-war camp, designed to hold even the craftiest escape artists. In doing so, however, the Nazis unwittingly assembled the finest escape team in military history - brilliantly portrayed here by Steve McQueen, James Garner, Charles Bronson and James Coburn - who worked on what became the largest prison breakout ever attempted. One of the most ingenious and suspenseful adventure films of all time, 'The Great Escape' is a masterful collaboration between director John Sturges ('The Magnificent Seven'), screenwriters James Clavell ('Shogun') and W.R. Burnett ('Little Caesar'), and composer Elmer Bernstein. Based on a true story, 'The Great Escape' is epic entertainment t that "entertains,captivates, thrills and stirs" ('Variety'). |
