    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Hilts (Steve McQueen) is caught and returned to camp. Luger (Hannes Messemer) is removed from command for the escape of 50 prisoners.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    The Great Escape is based on the true story of a group of Allied prisoners of war who managed to escape from an allegedly impenetrable Nazi prison camp during World War II. At the beginning of the film, the Nazis gather all their most devious and troublesome POWs and place them at a new prison camp, which was designed to be impervious to escapes. Immediately, the prisoners develop a scheme where they will leave the camp by building three separate escape tunnels. Richard Attenborough is the British soldier who masterminds the whole plan, and who commands his motley squad--featuring Charles Bronson as a Polish trench-digging expert, James Garner as an American with a talent for theft, Donald Pleasence as a masterful forger, and Steve McQueen as an American rebel--through the construction of the tunnels and, eventually, their escape. An epic adventure film, The Great Escape runs nearly three hours, featuring a rousing Elmer Bernstein score and exciting action sequences -- including a notorious motorcycle chase between McQueen and the Nazis -- the likes of which had never been seen before in Hollywood productions.

    Historical Fact: After the war ended the Allies tracked down the Gestapo officers who were responsible for the deaths of the 50 escapees. There were 21 officers convicted. 13 were hanged and the rest received long prison sentences.

      @@KMcNally117 When Hitler was informed of the escape, he ordered they were all to be shot when they were captured. His advisors made him think again out of fear of reprisals against German soldiers in Allied hands, so he ordered that over half be shot. Of the 76 escapees, 73 were caught and 50 were executed.

    I've always liked von Luger's character. He plays the "bad guy" only by default, being in charge of the camp containing the prisoners. But he shows himself as a humble military man, showing firm but fair treatment to the prisoners and not subjecting them to cruel treatment as would be expected from an SS commandant. More than that, he shows genuine sorrow for the murder of the escaped prisoners.
    Supposedly, the real life commandant von Luger was based on was like that as well, and was respected by the Allied prisoners under his charge. After the war when the murder of the escaped prisoners was under investigation, the commandant was acquitted of any charges in part due to favorable testimony by the prisoners.

    A Few interesting facts about the camp Commandant, During the war he made sure that the prisoners under his watch were well looked after. When the trial to find those guilty of murdering prisoners of war was underway the prisoners in the camp testified on his behalf. This scene showing him being taken away was him faking mental problems to both avoid being murdered by the gestapo or the SS for incompetence and making sure the Luftwaffe remained in charge of guarding Air force POW's.

Go home or stay here - the majority stayed as they were given jobs while in the camp and were allowed some freedom as let’s be honest how would they escape an island with no axis forces nearby

      It could be based on who the prisoners were captured by as some, like Hilts, were captured by Germany's armed forces while Barlett and the ones executed were caught by the Gestapo and the SS. The actual murders this movie is dedicated to was committed by members of the Gestapo.

    As much as I love the movie, the actors, the brilliant direction, the masterful storytelling...Steve McQueen, one of my all-time favorite actors, was a pompous, egotistical terror on the set and demanded his role be expanded to make him the de facto star of the movie despite it being filled with A-list cast members and not necessarily being focused on the exploits of any single prisoner. He actually walked out on the production for a week until Garner, Colburn, and others convinced him to return to finish the filming. All his demands were met and yes, he gave a riveting and Oscar-worthy performance. But he was never meant to be the hero standing last. It does make for the perfect Hollywood ending though to hear the baseball bouncing off the wall to close the final shot.

    This is my favorite film. It took me 6 or 7 viewings to realize something. With a few minor role exceptions, all the escaped prisoners played by British actors are killed while all the Americans live or escape. Bronson and Coburn granted, are playing a Pole and an Australian respectively, but they are American actors. Plus, Sturges kills off Coburn and Bronson in the Magnificent Seven but let's them go free in Great Escape. Intentional? In joke? I have absolutely no idea but I just thought it was fun to point out.
