A rousing, ensemble-driven war adventure that balances the grim reality of POW camps with the ingenuity, camaraderie, and audacious hope of men determined to reclaim their freedom.

The Nazis, exasperated at the number of escapes from their prison camps by a relatively small number of Allied prisoners, relocate them to a high-security 'escape-proof' camp to sit out the remainder of the war. Undaunted, the prisoners plan one of the most ambitious escape attempts of World War II. Based on a true story.
