The Great Escape (4K UHD) Brand NEW (Sealed) Kino Lorber Steve McQueen 2-disk

Description: Screen legend Steve McQueen (Bullitt) slams his motorcycle into high gear and leads the way in this action-packed classic about a group of Allied POWs who attempt one of the largest and most daring breakouts in history. A masterful collaboration between director John Sturges (Bad Day at Black Rock), screenwriters James Clavell (The Satan Bug) and W.R. Burnett (Little Caesar), and composer Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Seven), The Great Escape is one of the most ingenious and suspenseful adventure films of all time! As World War II rages on, the Germans open Stalag Luft III, a maximum-security prisoner-of-war camp, designed to hold even the craftiest escape artists. In doing so, however, the Nazis unwittingly assemble the finest escape team in military history. Together, under the guidance of the brilliant Bartlett (Richard Attenborough, Brighton Rock), the resourceful Hendley (James Garner, Support Your Local Sheriff) and the steely, determined Hilts (McQueen), the men plot, scheme and dig their way to freedom…at any cost! Charles Bronson (Breakheart Pass), James Coburn (A Fistful of Dynamite), Donald Pleasence (The Black Windmill), James Donald (The Bridge on the River Kwai) and David McCallum (Mosquito Squadron) fill out the iconic cast of this spectacular, true-life blockbuster. The Great Escape received a 1963 Academy Award nomination for Best Film Editing (Ferris Webster, The Manchurian Candidate) and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Motion Picture—Drama. 4KUHD DISC 1:• NEW Audio Commentary by Filmmaker/Historian Steve Mitchell and Combat Films: American Realism Author Steven Jay Rubin• Audio Commentary with Director John Sturges, Actors James Garner, James Coburn, Donald Pleasence, David McCallum, Jud Taylor and Many other Crew Members – Moderated by Steven Jay Rubin• 5.1 Surround & Original 2.0 Mono• Optional English Subtitles• UHD 100 Triple Layer DiscBLU-RAY DISC 2:• Return to THE GREAT ESCAPE: Making of the Classic with the Cast and Crew (24:09)• THE GREAT ESCAPE: Bringing Fact to Fiction – Narrated by Burt Reynolds (12:21)• THE GREAT ESCAPE: Preparations for Freedom – Narrated by Burt Reynolds (19:50)• THE GREAT ESCAPE: The Flight to Freedom – Narrated by Burt Reynolds (9:22)• THE GREAT ESCAPE: A Standing Ovation – Narrated by Burt Reynolds (5:58)• The Real Virgil Hilts: A Man Called Jones – Narrated by James Coburn (25:01)• THE GREAT ESCAPE: The Untold Story – Documentary by Steven Clarke (50:47)• THE GREAT ESCAPE: The Untold Story – Additional Interviews (9:35)• Theatrical Trailer (2:42)
