Escape To Victory

A group of P.O.Ws at a German prison camp agree to compete against Nazi football players in this World War II drama set in 1943 Occupied Europe. German Major Karl von Steiner, who played football professionally before the war, comes up with the idea.

When his superior officers find out about the competition, they pit the Allies against Germany's best team; but they don't realize that the P.O.Ws plan to use the upcoming big game as a means of escaping. The Allied team includes John Colby, a British officer who also played football before the war, and Robert Hatch, an American soldier who cares far more about gaining his freedom than the game itself.

When the P.O.W.s realize they have a good shot at beating the Nazi team in front of a huge crowd, they must decide what's more important;finishing the match or getting out alive.
