Escape to Victory (1981)
1943. Tijdens WO II worden in Duitsland officieren van verschillende geallieerde landen gevangen gehouden door de nazi's. Hun enige tijdverdrijf vinden ze in het voetballen. Het team staat onder leiding van oud-profvoetballer kapitein John Colby. De Duitse majoor Von Steiner is onder de indruk van het team en stelt voor een wedstrijd te organiseren tussen de krijgsgevangenen en de bewakers. Nazi-Duitsland wil het echter grootser aanpakken en ziet het als een goede propagandastunt om de gevangenen in Parijs te laten spelen tegen het nationale team van Duitsland. Wat de Duitsers zich echter niet realiseren is dat zij hiermee de krijgsgevangenen in de kaart spelen...
