REVIEW: In 1943, the Germans opened Stalag Luft 3, 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 Sturgess screenwriters James Clavell and W.R. Burnett and composer Elmer Bernstein. Based on a True Story, The Great Escape is epic entertainment that “captivates, thrills and stirs”.
SPECIAL FEATURE: *24-Minute Documentary on the making of The Great Escape.
