Kino Lorber have confirmed that they are preparing a 4K Blu-ray release of John Sturges' film
The Great Escape (1963), starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, James Donald, and Charles Bronson. The release is expected to arrive on the market early next year.
Synopsis: Imprisoned during World War II in a German POW camp, a group of Allied soldiers are intent on breaking out, not only to escape, but also to draw Nazi forces away from battle to search for fugitives. Among the prisoners determined to escape are American Captain Virgil Hilts (Steve McQueen) and British Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett (Richard Attenborough). Outwitting their captors by digging a tunnel out of the prison grounds, the soldiers find the stakes much higher when escape becomes a reality.
