This movie was the bomb back in the day, still a good watch.
Great to watch a movie that has no swearing or nudity, a rare treat.

I really did try to like it, honest. But it was really just too slow-moving and boring for me. After watching 2 hours there was no end in sight and I found I was only still watching it 'cause I had... Read more
invested that much time in it (not because it interested me). I guess in the day it was cool but now I just found it was dated and it just went on and on and on....it is really long.A good story is, undoubtably, in there but it could probably benefit by a re-edit to make it a bit more contemporary.
Just because a movie is regarded as a "classic" doesn't mean it is still good.

Excellent old school movie. Even better that it's based on the truth. Sterling performances from a lot of excellent actors who are still around today. Not least of all, James Garner and of course Steve McQueen.

This is a classic film; a sad, true story from WW2. The cast provide strong performances thoughout the film, bringing the characters to life. The film is punctuated with touching moments and hilarious antics, making it a truly brilliant movie.

They really knew how to make war movies back then. Highly recommended!

. The acting is superb and its a pleasure to see a collection of such great actors at the top of their game. My only issue is the picture quality... maybe I'm becoming a HD snob but the image was grainy and distracting. Apparently there is a 2 disc version available perhaps FATSO could replace this disk. If so this would a great movie to watch on a Sunday afternoon.

With a powerful cast, this movie is very exciting. A POW devised a plan to escape by building a tunnel and then the saga begins....

A good film, just goes to show how determined the allies were at escaping from prison war camps, although to some, the cost was very high.

Always cool. Steve McQueen is the man, and Charles Bronson is himself. Classic, sometimes funny, actually quite nail-biting.
