Overview

During World War II, the Germans convert the castle of Colditz into an escape-proof prison where recidivist escapees are imprisoned under one roof. The most accomplished escape artists are gathered there, brave soldiers who view escape not only as a challenge but as a duty, in order to harass and irritate German forces as much as they can.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut, methodical chronicle of resourceful Allied prisoners turning Colditz castle into a proving ground where escape becomes an act of defiance and duty. The tension comes not from melodrama but from the meticulous planning and incremental risks that inch toward freedom.
