The Great Escape (1963)



Based on a true story and brimming with tension, this epic yarn centers on an audacious plan by Allied officers -- who've escaped their Nazi captors time and again -- to stage a massive breakout from an ostensibly escape-proof German prison camp. The star-studded ensemble cast includes Richard Attenborough, James Garner, Charles Bronson and Steve McQueen, whose climactic motorcycle sequence remains one of most memorable in cinema history.
