Summary

As World War II rages on, the Germans open Stalag Luft III, a maximum-security prisoner-of-war camp, designed to hold even the craftiest escape artists. In doing so, however, the Nazis unwittingly assembled the finest escape team in military history. Together, under the guidance of the brilliant Bartlett the resourceful Hendley, and the steely, determined Hilts, the men plot, scheme, and dig their way to freedom--at any cost!
