Summary: Excellent made-for-TV WW2 true story
Review: This is the best made-for-tv movie (broadcast network) that depicts true events I have ever seen. Rutger Hauer and Alan Arkin are excellent as a Russian POW and a Jewish concentration camp prisoner who lead an uprising in a German concentration camp. It left me feeling "at least SOMEONE in a concentration camp stuck it to the Nazis." It also made me wish more had been able to. It's surprisingly graphic for a made-for-tv movie (I think it was on CBS); it shows naked women lined up to enter the showers (gas chambers). Just a word of warning to parents.

Summary: Touching and interesting
Review: This movie follows a group of prisoners in the concentration camp Sobibor planning to escape. They soon realize that if they manage to escape, other prisoners will get killed, so they have to see to that all the prisoners in the entire camp can escape at the same time. The group, led by Leon (Alan Arkin), soon gets help from a Russian (Rutger Hauer). It's a slow moving film that portrays the life in the concentration camp, the prisoner's way of trying to do the best of their situation, not giving up and keep living to get revenge. It also shows how brutal a man can get when he gets power over others. It's well written with many great scenes, has excellent acting by all actors, especially by Arikin and Hauer, and is sometimes quite touching. It's a very good movie that makes you think and can lead to interesting discussions. Highly recommended!
