A true story, escapade with a number of my favorite actors from the '60s Steve Mcqueen , James Garner, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, and David Macullock all in roles that fit their personalities and talents. There are a number of other good ones American and British officers making fools of the Nazi's, diverting their attention from the coming invasion. An ending that demonstrates the horrific policies they perpetrated.

I think it was this copy of the film that had a Problem. I throughly enjoyed the first 2/3 of this movie but the final 1/3, the escape was a total disaster. It started when “Big X” was telling “Colin”, that he couldn’t go, something on the floor? & running into “X’s” leg? Then the final 1/3 of the Movie really was very Disappointing & Terrible as the prisoners were starting the escape. The movie would play for a minute or so then freeze up, then skip portions, then repeat the process all over again. You could see some of the prisoners getting through the tunnel but not what happened to them, how they got caught or if they got away & the final outcome of ”The Great Escape”. The Ending was Completely Missing, final shot was of ”Hilts” going into the Cooler? Did anybody make it “Home”? How many came back to the Prison Camp? What happened to the prisoners that escaped through the tunnel? A lot of Gaps in Movie, Not Finished or Complete. I remember the first time I saw the Movie I was totally engaged, it was engrossing & kept your interest throughout the movie. You didn’t want to miss a second of it. That’s one of the reasons I purchased it. I wanted to be able to rewind & get the complete story. Didn’t want to miss anything. Fabulous Movie, just not thisRead full review

One of the all-time best. Based on a true event and performed by a great number of outstanding actors. Will watch this one over and over

Very interesting movie based on a true story. A brief glimpse of what a prisoner of war camp must have been like during WWII. Numerous attempts at escape, but mostly unsuccessful. Fifty prisoners “executed” trying to escape (but actually shot down in cold blood).

This was a true story, (except for McQueen's motorcycle jumping the fence) and you had also alot of big time actors in this one. Very, very good tale of the POW's escape.
