The Great Escape is a below par 1963 remake of the classic 2000 film Chicken Run.
It is set in a prison camp during a war with the fictional 'Third Reich'. To be completely honest i found the whole thing fairly un-realistic and rather far fetched. Steve Mcqueen stars as a pilot who flies something called an Airplane in combat and hails from the 'United States of America' or 'USA'. He is captured and imprisoned alongside some British soldiers who join him in planning a GREAT ESCAPE.
However it fails and most are shot in a field. I learnt from this film that all Germans actually speak English to each other in an English accent. Something i was not aware of before. Finally some truth in what otherwise is a pack of lies dressed up as entertainment.
I would award this film 500/500.
I touched myself, and others, 24 times during this film.
