The Great Escape is based on the true story of a group of Allied prisoners of war who managed to escape from an allegedly impenetrable Nazi prison camp during World War II. At the beginning of the film, the Nazis gather all their most devious and troublesome POWs and place them at a new prison camp, which was designed to be impervious to escapes. Immediately, the prisoners develop a scheme where they will leave the camp by building three separate escape tunnels. Richard Attenborough is the British soldier who masterminds the whole plan, and who commands his motley squad--featuring Charles Bronson as a Polish trench-digging expert, James Garner as an American with a talent for theft, Donald Pleasence as a masterful forger, and Steve McQueen as an American rebel--through the construction of the tunnels and, eventually, their escape. An epic adventure film, The Great Escape runs nearly three hours, featuring a rousing Elmer Bernstein score and exciting action sequences -- including a notorious motorcycle chase between McQueen and the Nazis -- the likes of which had never been seen before in Hollywood productions.

I have been waiting for a movie for nearly 7 weeks. I understand the mail runs slow these days. But I have reached out to this seller three times without the courtesy of one response! Not one. Based on this , I would not recommend this seller. The item didn't cost a lot, but the lack of response to a customer is unforgivable.

Touching War Movie!!
This movie was very real in how it portrayed the lives of these officers that were held in a prison. They were obviously better cared for than most other war prisoners. The persistence that the men showed in trying to escape and the ingenuity that it took to accomplish it was admirable. There are a host of great actors in this and fun to see them in their earlier days. Lots of action and suspense.
