In 1943, the Germans opened Stalag Luft North, a maximum-security prisoner-of-war camp, designed to hold even the craftiest escape artist. 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, screenwriters James Clavell and W.R. Burnett, and composer Elmer Bernstein. Based on a true story, The Great Escape is epic entertainment that “entertains, captivates, thrills and stirs” (Variety).

The true story of the plotted escape from the Prisoner of War camp is an endearing classic that I've watched so many times, and couldn't tire of watching. Gripping acting, genius tunnelling and an unforgettable soundtrack are just a few things which make this film legendary- watch it for yourself to see this immense film, with Steve McQueen and Richard Attenborough in one of their best roles.
Amazing One Of My Favourites

My favourite film to this very day, Steve McQueen is exceptional in it and all the characters work well together to give a very gripping feel to the film. The escape is highly entertaining and obsticles they have to over come before they have started e.g Blindness, Clostraphobia etc. Watched it that many times i now pretty much the whole script.
