"Truly a great escape"

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2003)

This is a great movie, based on a true World War II escape. The set is superb, based on the actual design of Stalag Luft 3 where the escape took place. The cast is an all-star one including Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, & James Garner. It has a bit of everything you could want..humor, compassion, and even a great motorcycle chase scene. The movie is almost three hours long, so pop some popcorn, settle in, and prepare to enjoy yourself immensely.
