Having seen this before it brought back memories from my younger years , I found it to be as interesting now as before . The Motorbike chase scenes were still exciting and how everyone in the movie had a part to play and did fulfil them and the way they were able to get items was amazing . It truly is an exciting DVD to watch and would recommend it to anyone to se it .
It is many years since I seen this movie but still find it as interesting as some scenes show the actual actions that took place.

I like the 'old world' type movie; where honesty, integrity, honour, team work, looking out for each other runs throughout. This is one of those. It has lots of good actors playing deep parts portraying a very difficult time. They do it well. Not so keen on the ending.

Great film, poor quality DVD

Reviewed in Australia on 9 June 2020

Despite being emblazoned with "50th Anniversary Edition," there is nothing special about the transfer of this DVD. Very poor quality, fuzzy with odd colours. It is, however, cheap, and the film is as good as ever. If you can fork out for the Criterion Blu-ray, do so. If all you want is to relive the movie as it appeared on TVs in the '70s, this is the DVD for you. Good luck!

Great restoration. Great film.

Reviewed in Australia on 27 December 2019

This movie pops up on TV quite often. But I don’t think I’ve ever watched it all the way through in one sitting. I have to say, it’s so much more enjoyable in one sitting. Very engaging.
The blu ray itself is beautifully restored. Excellent picture quality and great sound. Certainly looks better than I remember it. It’s a great restoration.
And there are some great extras on the film and the history behind it - I didn’t realised it was based on a true story.
Great cast, great film, really nice to own it as I will watch it again.

Great war movie, without the gore of modern movies

* Synopsis

Set in Germany, WW2, an amassing of all the most difficult allied P.O.W. into one German camp. Some P.O.W are under stress, some are calculating how to get out. The plan is to dig tunnels and give all those people rations, clothing, maps, identity cards, the full set of identity items. Their plans are brilliant, secret, and giving those locked within the camp something to live for, what happens next?

* Summary

It is an iconic movie based on a true story. The DVD has a background documentary explaining this. This movie used to be a byword for repeated Xmas movies, but it's still a great film brilliantly played by all the cast. The famous motorcycle leap is one sticking in your mind.

a strong film , 50 years aint dated this

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 April 2013

The great escape is a well written, well acted film. The years have been kind to it for those truths. The list of stars is powerful, like expendables cast except everyone here had acting in their blood, an odd comparison i know.
The film has a fair pace, not a smasher pace, the film allows itself to breathe , banging the door down at close to 3 hours. The characters get into your mind and there are feelings to be shared.
If you dont own this then i would look at yourself and say hey, i need this classic escape movie with the great theme , the great cast, the great script and memorable moments..
