| Plot |
| Steve McQueen leads an all-star cast in this "stunning" ('The Film Daily'), action-packed classic about a group of Allied POWs who attempt one of the largest and most daring breakouts in history. A masterful collaboration between director John Sturges ('The Magnificent Seven'), screenwriters James Clavell ('Shogun') and W.R. Burnett ('Little Caesar') and composer Elmer Bernstein, 'The Great Escape' is one of the most ingenious and suspenseful adventure films of all time!In 1943, the Germans opened Stalag Luft III, 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. Together, under the guidane of the brilliant Barlett (Richard Attenborough), the resourceful Hendley (James Garner) and the steely, determined Hilts (McQueen), the men plot, scheme and dig their way to freedom... at any cost! |
