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. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

In this mystery, based on a story by Edgar Wallace, Scotland Yard looks into a ring of counterfeiters. He soon discovers that an amnesiac playboy is linked to the gang of forgers. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Robert Graf plays the title role in the allegorical German drama Jonas. The hero is an anonymous worker in a huge printing plant. Feeling somewhat lost in an increasingly mechanized, impersonal world, Jonas takes to wandering around town during his lunch hour. One afternoon, he impulsively purchases a hat, which is promptly stolen. For Jonah, this is the last straw: he manifests his anger against society by stealing a hat himself. The rest of the film traces Jonah's desperate -- and unsuccessful -- efforts to get rid of his ill-gotten headgear. Virtually a pantomime, Jonas is underscored by the plaintive music of Duke Ellington. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
