Inspired by true events, The Great Escaper follows 89-year-old British WWII veteran Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) as he stages a "great escape" from his care home in the summer of 2014. Aiming to reach the 70th anniversary D-Day commemorations in Normandy, France, Bernie embarks on a solo journey that captures the world's imagination.
While his adventure makes global headlines, the film poignantly explores the deeper reality of Bernard's need to confront the lasting trauma of war and celebrates his enduring 60-year marriage to his spirited wife, Rene (Glenda Jackson).
