You've never seen anything like it!

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 1998)

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a film with an incredible cast and a captivating story. Rarely in a war movie are we shown the prisoner's point of view after a long time in captivity. The detail that is shown in this film about the escape process and all the people, thought and preparation that is involved will mesmerize you. And, if you can't get enough, then I also recommend Jean Renoir's French film, The Grand Illusion, which is similar, but not nearly as good as The Great Escape. After seeing The Great Escape, you'll want to run out and rent anything that stars Steve McQueen. And you will never forget this movie--I promise.
