Synopsis
Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine play World War II POWs engaged in two sports: a football match for their honour against their German captors and a bid to escape from their prison camp. A group of Nazi officers including the always impressive Max von Sydow come up with a propaganda event in which an all star Nazi team will play a team composed of allied prisoners – Caine, Stallone, Pele and others. This hybrid of football, politics and history is unconventional but has become one of the greatest uplifting films of all time and you are unlikely to see better fictional sporting footage anywhere else. From Pele’s jaw dropping overhead kick to the angry midfield runs from Bobby Moore this is the epitome of male bonding, camaraderie movies.
