One of the greatest escapes...

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2015)

"The Great Escape" is an adventure movie which is based on true historical events during World War II and especially we watch a group of allied escape artist type prisoners of war (POW's) put in an 'escape proof' camp. There they will try to escape with all of their powers.
I really liked this movie because it's a movie which is based on true historical events and of course the plot of this movie was excellent. If we think that this movie is based on the truth or most of it then we can understand how difficult was for those people to be prisoners and we can watch how hard the wanted to be free. We also watch them put all their effort to reach freedom with any cause. Steve McQueen was simply outstanding in this movie and I really liked his interpretation, also James Garner's interpretation who played as Hendley was equally good such Charles Bronson who played as Danny. I also have to say about the escape plan that was magnificent and really brilliant, and I believe with this the direction wanted to show us that these people had spend plenty of their living time on prison and they wanted to change it and be free again.
Finally I have to say that "The Great Escape" is one of the best adventure movies with this plot (escape from a prison) and I believe that if you are a fan of adventurous movies then I am sure that you will love it. But also if you are not I believe that you are going to have a nice time as you watch it.
