| 10+Cautions: language, brief drunkenness, violence and scenes of peril
The Great Escape is a war movie, a comedy, and an action flick all at once. Based on a true story, the setting is the toughest POW camp in Germany, where the Nazis have unthinkingly assembled all of the Allied force’s top escape artists. Surrounded by witty dialogue, clever escape plans and impressive motorcycle stunts, The Great Escape is the intriguing story of the attempt to break out 250 prisoners in the heart of Axis Europe.

Brief Drunkenness
The main characters build a still and make liquor. All of the prisoners partake of the alcohol, and are obviously affected by it, laughing and carrying on boisterously for a couple of minutes.
Violence and Scenes of Peril
Several characters are shot, many of them to death, in a non-bloody but emotionally-gripping way.
The escape scenes are races against time, with the understanding that recaptured prisoners may be killed.
Note:
Characters wish each other good luck multiple times, though each time they do, something goes wrong.
Characters smoke cigarettes throughout the film.
