## Description

This is the dramatic true story of Franz Von Werra, the only German prisoner-of-war in Britain to escape and return to his homeland. During the Battle of Britain, his plane is hit and it plunges down onto British soil. Even though the pilot is captured, he is extremely confident and focused on his plan: to escape and return home against all the odds. Starring Hardy Kruger, who was a real-life prisoner of war, as von Werra in his first UK production.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Highly Enjoyable
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2020*

I have always enjoyed older B&W British flicks,from "Odd Man Out" to "The Quatermass Xperiment",and this one did not disappoint. Neither did Hardy Kruger,forever one of my favorite actors. He  is in every scene and he carries the movie with style. It is refreshing and surprising,considering the war was not far behind when this was made,to see the Luftwaffe pilot protagonist portrayed in a sympathetic light. You will root for him every time he makes a get away. As a student of history,I enjoyed that it was fact-based,as well. I highly recommend this one.

    Pretty Cool WWII Story with Hardy Krueger
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2020*

Flying, intrigue, and a true story, plus Hardy Krueger's tough and inflappable self-assurance make it a good addition to the WWII B&W cinema collection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent WWII story
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2012*

This is a WWII story for adults. No one dies in this movie. In fact, I cannot recall a single bullet being fired in the whole movie. If you're looking for just an action movie, this isn't for you. The story itself is what is so great. This movie is the true story of the escape of Franz von Werra, the only German pilot prisoner of war to escape from captivity. Based on the internet research that I've been able to do, the movie is a very factual account of von Werra's efforts. You really do wind up rooting for the "bad guy" in this movie.  The movie is black and white.  Also, there is no musical soundtrack, but you don't miss it. The one strange part about the movie is that when you turn on the English subtitles so you can know what the German prisoners are saying to each other, the movie shows English subtitles for the British soldiers speaking English too.
