The Great Escape
Synopsis
This is the incredible true story of how over 600 Allied prisoners of war tunneled their way to freedom from a high-security German camp during World War II. For a year, they dug, forged, and planned under the watchful eyes of their captors, all leading up to a daring, meticulously timed escape. While not every detail went as planned, the sheer audacity and scale of their efforts remain legendary.
