Director John Sturges reunites with The Magnificent Seven stars Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson in this timeless adaptation of Paul Brickhill's World War II memoir of an audacious prisoner breakout.Stalag Luft III: an impenetrable camp built to hold the most persistent escapees. Under the ruthless vigilance of the Nazi guards, a multinational group of prisoners must work together to enact their daring plan: to break out of the camp, forcing the Germans to divert precious military resources towards apprehending them. But getting beyond the camp's barbed wire fences and gun-towers is only the beginning. Once out, the escapees must make the perilous journey to the border, all the while evading the relentless pursuit of their former captors.Beautifully shot by Oscar®-winning cinematographer Daniel L. Fapp (West Side Story) and featuring a rousing, infectiously hummable score by Elmer Bernstein (The Ten Commandments), The Great Escape remains one of the most beloved Hollywood historical action movies - a testament to human ingenuity, camaraderie under pressure and indomitability of the spirit.3-DISC LIMITED EDITION CONTENTSLimited edition packaging with reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sam Hadley Collector's booklet featuring new writing by Barry Forshaw, Neil Mitchell, Wickham Clayton and Mark Cunliffe Fold-out double-sided poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sam HadleyDISC 1 (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY) - THE GREAT ESCAPE4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray(tm) presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible)Newly restored original lossless mono soundtrackOptional lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrackOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary by filmmaker/historian Steve Mitchell and Steven Jay Rubin, author of Combat Films: American RealismAudio commentary featuring director John Sturges and members of the cast and crew, moderated by Steven Jay RubinTheatrical trailerDISC 2 (BLU-RAY) - BONUS FEATURESThe Real Great Escape - author and historian Guy Walters separates fact from fiction in this brand new interviewThe Great Escapism - brand new appreciation of the film by Jose Arroyo, Associate Professor in Film and Television Studies at the University of WarwickThe Great Composer - brand new interview with composer/author Neil Brand, discussing Elmer Bernstein and his iconic scoreFreedom Forged - critic and educator Rich Johnson explores the film's place within the war movie canon in this brand new visual essayMichael Sragow on The Great Escape - 2020 interview exploring the career of John Sturges and the making of the filmHeroes Underground - 2001 four-part documentary exploring the making of the film and the events which inspired it, featuring interviews with former POWsThe Real Virgil Hilts - 2001 featurette interviewing former POW David M.
