The Nazis, exasperated at the number of escapes from their prison camps by a relatively small number of Allied prisoners, relocate them to a high-security 'escape-proof' camp to sit out the remainder of the war. Undaunted, the prisoners plan one of the most ambitious escape attempts of World War II. Based on a true story.

Allied prisoners of war plan for several hundred of their number to escape from a German camp during World War II. I liked 'The Great Escape' way better when it was called 'Victory' and starred Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine and Man Von Sydow cause this version was just awful and of course i'm kidding by the way but this movie was completely pure garbage and just very and i mean very long and boring to the point where even the great actors that starred to it seemed lost and full of despair but don't worry there's always the better version remember? (0/10)

THE GREAT ESCAPE is director John Sturges's follow up to THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN and if anything it's even more epic than his classic western. Once again we have an all-star cast taking place in an action and suspense-filled story, this time about a jailbreak from a prisoner of war camp in Germany. Despite an incredible running time, this film is enjoyable for every second of screen time; it has humour and heart in spades, and of the huge cast, nobody puts a foot wrong. I think Steve McQueen steals all of his scenes here in a show-stopping role, but others like Richard Attenborough and James Garner are more quietly determined while Donald Pleasence and Charles Bronson are the most sympathetic you'll ever see them. A classic and worthwhile tale is told with the budget to tell it properly and the production values are quite brilliant throughout. It's an unashamed fist-thumping classic and a film I never tire of watching; I love it to bits and can't say a bad thing about it.

OK lets start from beginning. The title justifies the movie. Lots of characters are present. The first half hour you may find it boring and the sound i.e tune or music at the background would be quite disturbing/annoying but you will get used to it as the movie goes further. They showed the whole movie from planning of escape,run and again back to prison. I would definitely recommend the movie but take care of first half hour. Movie is long(about 2:50:00) and interesting.I will give 10 rating because I like escape movies and it is based on true event during world war 2. Hoping anyone find it useful. Thank you.
