| User Reviews |  | accurate and gripping
rating: 5
Although some of the film making techniques feel a little dated (it was made in 1987 for TV), the acting is superb, the production values are high, and, above all, from what I have read in several books on the Holocaust, the death camps, and Sobibor, this movie does its best to be historically accurate. In the first half, it gives the viewer just enough of an understanding of what took place in the death camps without being too emotionally overwhelming too watch (although my wife might disagree.) The second half also contains a bit of Nazi brutality, but the focus is on the planning and execution of the escape. This to me was quite gripping. I recommend it.

This a great story of tragedy, hope and overcoming adversity
rating: 4
This is a great story and almost nothing else matters. The quality is OK at best and this must of been a very low budget film - again this doesn't mater because the object lesson is so great. It make you realize that today we are just a bunch of spoiled brats when you look at what real hardship can be.

Fantastic
rating: 5
I loved this movie. If you're a fan of Thrillers like The Great Escape and Escape from Alcatraz, then you should buy this. It is so sad to see what people actually went through and in the end you heave a sigh of relief and feel a lot of joy to finally see how they escaped. In today's world, given the same situation, we would not survive even for a day; but those men and women had guts and hunger for survival and revenge. This is a "must see" movie. Be prepared for occasional "lumps in your throat".

STILL POWERFUL AFTER TWENTY YEARS
rating: 5
Film is still excellent. Almost unbearable without the commercial breaks.
Apparently I got lucky when I ordered the VHS tape and the version I have has not been edited. Other reviewers have described the film in detail, so I won't add to that. What is really sad is that this was made for network television. Anything like this would be produced by Showtime or HBO now. And that is not only sad, it's tragic.
