About
You can watch The Great Escape (1963) for free on Hoopla, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
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.
A sense of defiant camaraderie fuels this sprawling epic of ingenuity and sheer willpower. Every meticulously planned tunnel and stolen motorcycle ride pulses with the restless energy of men refusing to be caged.
