About the Film

Colditz Castle, deep in wartime Germany, was reserved for the most persistent escape artists among the Allied prisoners of war — those who had already broken out of other camps. Heavily fortified and outnumbered by guards, the prisoners refused to give up. The Colditz Story is a tense, inspiring account of their ingenuity and courage, and inspired the beloved 1972 BBC TV series Colditz.

Perfect for fans of John Mills, WWII films, British war cinema, POW dramas and classic 1950s film.
