John Warner Nov 9 It’s so cool seeing classic movies on the big screen. Had a fun time. Very nice and packed theater. See more Michael S 10/09/2022 So great to see it again. See more Brian D @Brianwd 3h 71%. 3/30/26. Thought it was decent - would have liked to see it ages ago, of course. Cool that it's based on a true story. Fun to see them building the tunnels and watching the initiial escape. And then watching them all flee as they get hunt down. The motorcycle scene is great. Beyond that, thought it was pretty slow and boring. Interesting how the soldiers were treated well by the Germans since they weren't SS officers. I guess they see it as their duty to escape and put pressure on the enemy, and they didn't know 50 people would be executed on Hitler's orders, but the camp didn't seem that worth breaking out of. Long film, wouldn't rewatch. 1/5 rewatch See more K C @LetPeopleEnjoyThings Feb 22 This movie was my introduction to Steve McQueen, James, Garner,and Charles Bronson. Even as a kid I had so much appreciation for this film. Growing up and learning so much more about it and realizing who all the actors were i.e Richard Attenborough being in jurassic Park, James Gardner being in the Notebook, and even David Mccullam who plays Ducky on NCIS and who ALSO wrote the song (The Edge) which DR DRE sampled for the intro of The Next Episode...this movie is full of great actors and awesome stories. Steve McQueen was going to quit because he wanted too much money or more screen time or something, and Garner convinced him to stay. With this being one of SMq most well known film, he's lucky James convinced him. Only for McQueen to be a drama queen about losing the role in 1966 grand prix to garner. Garner also made Bronson pay debts he owed while playing poker on the set. Charles Bronson never wanted to work with him again because of it haha.

Set in World War II, the film follows a group of Allied prisoners of war who meticulously scheme a daring escape from a German camp. With notable actors such as Steve McQueen and James Garner, the movie delivers exhilarating action sequences alongside genuine portrayals of human emotions. From the intricately devised breakout plan to the challenges they face after their escape, the narrative engrosses viewers and holds their attention until the end. A must-watch for fans of war dramas and tales of bravery.

Now being in my 60’s I still like to watch it from time to time and it never gets less enjoyable ‘ it came from an age when the actors were the top performers of the big screen movie industry ! and without them in this masterpiece it would not have been anywhere near the blockbuster it is ! I gave it 5 Stars mainly because it’s in my opinion one of the best War films or any films ever made ! I dare anyone to say it isn’t in the Top 10 ? In my opinion if you do ? You’re hard to impress ?
