The Great Escape
In 1943, having expended enormous resources on recapturing escaped Allied POWs, the Germans move the most determined to a new, high-security prisoner of war camp supervised by Luftwaffe Colonel von Luger. USAAF Captain Virgil Hilts and Scottish RAF Flying Officer Archibald "Archie" Ives are imprisoned in isolation in the cooler after an escape attempt. Hilts bounces a baseball against the cooler cell wall, as he plans another escape.
