Product Information
Mark Robson's Second World War adventure stars Frank Sinatra as the leader of Allied prisoners of war attempting to slip the clutches of their captors. In occupied Italy, a group of mainly English PoWs are just set to make their escape from their camp when a tough American Colonel, Joseph Ryan, is incarcerated with them. On learning the details of their plot, and thinking it amounts to suicide, he blows their plans by telling the Italian guards. His action earns their hatred, and the moniker 'von Ryan'. However, Ryan is eventually able to make it up to his comrades when he spies the opportunity to hijack a train, and the possibility of conveying them all to safety in Switzerland. Even so, that still leaves them with a lot of the Italian countryside to cover, with the Nazis and Fascists determined to stop them - plus more trouble than they were expecting from their fellow Allied forces.Product Identifiers
