Synopsis

We are marking the 60th Anniversary of Pirate Radio with a weekend of films form the early 1960’s with £1 for every ticket sold going to the LV18 Restoration Fund

The Nazis, exasperated at the number of escapes from their prison camps by a relatively small number of Allied prisoners, relocate them to a high-security ‘escape-proof’ camp to sit out the remainder of the war. Undaunted, the prisoners plan one of the most ambitious escape attempts of World War II. Based on a true story.
