In the madness of war people are often taken as prisoners to torture and be committed heinous crimes against such that they would have no other thought in mind but to escape from the torment that is being inflicted by the enemy upon them. Based on the book by Paul Brickhill and drafted by W.R. Burnett and James Clavell, The Great Escape is a historical adventure-drama film that was directed by John Sturges and follows the story of several hundred prisoners of war who during WWII plan to escape from a German camp. Starring Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough and James Garner, this movie is sure to captivate you emotionally and give you a deeper insight into how dreadful and sick the life of a prisoner during WWII was.
