The Great Escaper

UK 2023 | 96 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

One morning, 89-year-old Bernard Jordan walks out of the care home where he lives and makes his way to the ceremony marking the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings in France, which he took part in. The escapade sends the nursing home into a frenzy and becomes a publicized event that reaches the press. Oliver Parker takes this true story and, with the exceptional presence of Glenda Jackson and Michael Caine, forms "a moving and surprisingly nuanced drama" (Empire).
