Director John Sturges reunites with The Magnificent Seven stars Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson in this timeless adaptation of Paul Brickhill's World War II memoir of an audacious prisoner breakout.<br/><br/>Stalag Luft III: an impenetrable camp built to hold the most persistent escapees. Under the ruthless vigilance of the Nazi guards, a multinational group of prisoners must work together to enact their daring plan: to break out of the camp, forcing the Germans to divert precious military resources towards apprehending them. But getting beyond the camp's barbed wire fences and gun-towers is only the beginning. Once out, the escapees must make the perilous journey to the border, all the while evading the relentless pursuit of their former captors.<br/><br/>Beautifully shot by Oscar®-winning cinematographer Daniel L. Fapp (West Side Story) and featuring a rousing, infectiously hummable score by Elmer Bernstein (The Ten Commandments), The Great Escape remains one of the most beloved Hollywood historical action movies - a testament to human ingenuity, camaraderie under pressure and indomitability of the spirit.<br/><br/>3-DISC LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS<br/>Limited edition packaging with reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sam Hadley <br/>Collector's booklet featuring new writing by Barry Forshaw, Neil Mitchell, Wickham Clayton and Mark Cunliffe <br/>Fold-out double-sided poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sam Hadley<br/><br/>DISC 1 (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY) - THE GREAT ESCAPE<br/>4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray(tm) presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible)<br/>Newly restored original lossless mono soundtrack<br/>Optional lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack<br/>Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing<br/>Audio commentary by filmmaker/historian Steve Mitchell and Steven Jay Rubin, author of Combat Films: American Realism<br/>Audio commentary featuring director John Sturges and members of the cast and crew, moderated by Steven Jay Rubin<br/>Theatrical trailer<br/><br/>DISC 2 (BLU-RAY) - BONUS FEATURES<br/>The Real Great Escape - author and historian Guy Walters separates fact from fiction in this brand new interview<br/>The Great Escapism - brand new appreciation of the film by Jose Arroyo, Associate Professor in Film and Television Studies at the University of Warwick<br/>The Great Composer - brand new interview with composer/author Neil Brand, discussing Elmer Bernstein and his iconic score<br/>Freedom Forged - critic and educator Rich Johnson explores the film's place within the war movie canon in this brand new visual essay<br/>Michael Sragow on The Great Escape - 2020 interview exploring the career of John Sturges and the making of the film<br/>Heroes Underground - 2001 four-part documentary exploring the making of the film and the events which inspired it, featuring interviews with former POWs<br/>The Real Virgil Hilts - 2001 featurette interviewing former POW David M.

ONCE UPON A TIME... IN NAZI OCCUPIED FRANCE<br/><br/>One of the most celebrated filmmakers of our time harnesses the power of cinema itself to rewrite history in this electrifying WWII thriller. <br/><br/>Narrowly escaping the massacre of her entire family by the SS, Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) flees to Paris and forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Meanwhile, a guerilla band of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" led by Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), are waging a bloody war of attrition behind enemy lines but Europe remains beneath Nazi bootheels. Believing themselves unstoppable, the leaders of the Third Reich assemble in Paris for the premiere of propaganda epic Nation's Pride. The location? Shosanna's cinema. With all the rotten eggs in one basket, "The Basterds" join forces with British Commando Lt. Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender) and German film star/undercover allied agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) to infiltrate the premiere. Their plan? Blow up the basket... <br/><br/>Brim-filled with shocking violence, thrilling action and excruciating suspense, Inglourious Basterds was a box office smash around the world garnering eight Academy Award(tm) (2009) nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, with Christoph Waltz winning Best Supporting Actor for his star-making turn as the chilling SS Col. Hans Landa.

All 26 episodes from the TV drama series portraying the daily life of Channel islanders under German occupation during WWII. As the only British territory to be occupied by the Nazi regime during WWII, the Channel Islands represented a glimpse of what life in Britain could have been like if Germany had won the war. Blending archive footage with contemporary film techniques, the series achieved a gritty realism that went a long way to recreating the fear and uncertainty endemic in the population at the time.
