About this product

Product Information

John Sturges's dramatization of the true story of a group of British, American, and Canadian POWs who successfully escaped from Stalag Luft III in Upper Silesia in March 1944 is arguably the best World War II adventure film ever made. A host of big-name stars meshes beautifully in this meticulous recreation of the legendary escape. Although this is a film about courage, Sturges wisely takes a low-key approach, leavened with humor, rather than allowing the cast to indulge in macho antics.The German high command has filtered out all of the allies' most talented escape artists and placed them in a POW camp specifically designed to foil any unwanted departures. But as soon as they arrive, the prisoners, led by Steve McQueen as the rebellious Virgil Hilts, begin work on a series of tunnels under the direction of Roger "Big X" Bartlett (Richard Attenborough). He assigns the POWs to jobs according to their specialties. For more than a year, 600 prisoners, most of whom won't be leaving, work toward an escape that will temporarily disrupt the operations of the German army. THE GREAT ESCAPE, based on the book by Paul Brickhill, featuring many key scenes (McQueen's motorcycle chase, McQueen tossing the baseball against the cell wall, Bronson sliding on his chest in the tunnel) that are simply unforgettable.

This little house was delivered today. First thing is that I was very impressed that the inside of the outer box was taped up nicely. Next it was also closed and taped nicely on the styrofoam shell. Nice and secure. I plugged it in and I was so happy. I liked this house because this particular house was beautifully painted. Not sloppy looking. Nice house nice price. This was shipped quickly after I bought it. It doesn’t always happen with other sellers. I like this seller. Thank you

  • The Great Escape - From Modern Day Garbage

    This is a movie that is still my fathers favorite, and i inherited that. This movie depicts the POW camps (on a more pr friendly view) and these POW's would survive and use physical and mental tools to constantly keep the enemy exhausted, frustrated or asleep. This also has some really big names in it, such as Steve MQueen and others which your kids should know and hopefully enjoy. My ultimate selling point on this movie is not only does it take you back into that era but there are no special effects or altered scenes, you will even notice things like when Mqueen is thrown in the "cooler" you can see the brick wall cutoff and notice that "set" also in the tunnel there are some scenes where you catch a edge or so of the dirt ledge. Ultimately i would recommend this movie to anyone of any ...

  • The Great Escape (DVD, 2009)

    Perhaps one of the greatest war movies ever made. The war going bad for the Germans and with escaping Allied soldiers disrupting the German's operations, a plan is made to collect all of the escape artists from all of the POW camps and put them all in one new camp; a camp that is totally escape proof. Designated Stalag Luft III in upper Silesia, some 600 British, Canadian, and American POW's were all grouped together. This was Germany's idea of putting all of their bad apples in one basket. All of the guards and officers were top notch and considered elite in their field. For the Allies, it was the answer to a prayer. Never had so many talented escape artists been put together in one place. The film has so many big stars, that they don't even need to be mentioned. The plot is based on a ...

  • The Great Escape Collector's Edition

    The motion picture is a classic and it is beautifully preserved on this DVD. I am a WWII buff and enjoy movies depicting real history about the war. For the most part, this movie lives up to the realism and drama. There is a little Hollywood theatrics with some of the chase scenes but the movie really captures the essence of what the Great Escape was all about. This is the collector's edition that includes an extra DVD. This DVD has a very interesting set of featurettes on the making of the movie. Also on the extra DVD is a documentory of the real escape that was for the most part cheaply done and boring. I have viewed better documentories on the real escape in the past. I would have liked to have seen more interviews from the cast members of the motion picture about their ...
