One great action war ll movie. Watching it in 4k makes it even better. One of William Holden's and best war movies I've ever seen!

Not just a great War movie but a very thought provoking movie of the futility of war. As the British camps physician says - "Madness!'

The Bridge on the River Kwai and The Great Escape are my all time top two favorite POW war movies. Fun entertainment for the whole family.
