THE GREAT ESCAPE (1963)

Based on actual historical events and crackling with tension, this ambitious tale produced and directed by John Sturges tells the story of an audacious plan by Allied POWs to pull off a massive escape from a supposedly escape-proof German prison camp. The star-studded cast features Richard Attenborough, James Garner, Charles Bronson and Steve McQueen, whose climactic motorcycle chase scene offers proof of McQueen's enduring status as one of Hollywood's greatest action-adventure stars.

The incredible cast includes: Steve McQueen, James Garner, James Coburn, and Charles Bronson.

Director, John Sturges, scored a major hit with this film, which is one of the best World War 2 theme movies ever made.
