En 1943, les Allemands ont ouvert le Stalag Luft Nord, un camp de prisonniers à sécurité maximale, conçu pour retenir les plus grands experts de l’évasion. Mais, ce faisant, les Nazis ont involontairement réuni la meilleure équipe de spécialistes de l’évasion de toute l’histoire militaire. Ils vont ainsi conçevoir la plus grande tentative d’évasion jamais tentée… (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM))

Perfect direction and performances (Richard Attenborough!) but the script felt very naive, especially considering it’s based on real events – I don’t think it would have hurt the film if the story was more realistic. If the entire first half was as uncompromising as the climax, I wouldn’t hesitate to give it the highest rating, but the impression that, instead of a German prison camp, they were fleeing from an easygoing boy scout camp bothered me quite a lot. Otherwise, I’m satisfied.

A blockbuster that has it all. A grand story with a huge number of characters that can really get under your skin. Drama and humor, tragedy and relief. In the end, the truth sounds quite dark. And yet, everything takes place in a relatively small space. There is little to criticize about this film. It is definitely worth watching.
