...playing Stallone's old role) has but one aim: to convert a movie audience-typically composed of individuals lost in private fantasies-into a sports crowd, in which singular preoccupations are submerged in communal joy as the home team is cheered on to a transcendence everyone shares. With Pelé doing wondrous tricks on field, and Bill Conti's huge score blasting away underneath John Huston's superb blending of game action with the stadium's increasingly delirious response to it, Victory achieves its goal.

Pelé's role in Escape to Victory, now being shot by Director John Huston in Budapest, is classic typecasting. The former U.S. and Brazilian soccer star plays a former Trinidadian soccer star imprisoned in a German P.O.W. camp along with Michael Caine, who, as luck would have it, played on the British national team, Sylvester Stallone, a brash American captain with promise as a goalie, and other prisoners of unquestionable talent-the cast includes...
