With your cooperation, we may all sit out the war very comfortably." But every man in the maximum-security camp knows it is an officer's duty to escape and harass the enemy. The Great Escape, based on Paul Brickhill's first-hand account, tells in almost hypnotic detail how a mixed bag of P.W.s work together...
