Synopsis:

Superbly photographed on location in Germany, The Great Escape recounts the true story of 76 Allied airmen who plot a massive escape from Stalag 3, a notorious maximum security prison.

Steve McQueen, James Garner, and Richard Attenborough star as three of the prisoners of war who struggle against overwhelming odds to obtain freedom. The incredible mastermind and relentless effort behind The Great Escape makes this a compelling blockbuster, with a powerful and electrifying conclusion.
