The Great Escaper

Oliver Parker | United Kingdom | 2023 | 97 min | English | d.s.

In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan (Michael Cane) made global headlines. He had staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary. The Great Escaper not only tells the inspiring story of a man trying to come to terms with his lasting war trauma.

Bernie’s adventure also celebrates the enduring love in his 60-year marriage to Rene (Glenda Jackson) who wonderfully supports her husband in his adventure. A heartfelt British feel-good movie with top actor Michael Caine in the leading role and the final performance by the late, great Glenda Jackson.
