Storyline:

Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine play World War II POWs engaged in two sports: a soccer match for their honor against their German captors--and a bid for escape from their prison camp. This thrill-packed movie directed by legendary filmmaker John Huston features the incredible skills of soccer superstar Pele'.

A group of P.O.W.s at a German prison camp agree to compete against Nazi soccer players in this World War II drama set in 1943 Occupied Europe. German Major Karl von Steiner, who played soccer professionally before the war, comes up with the idea. When his superior officers find out about the competition, they pit the Allies against Germany's best team -- but as the germans concentrate on victory they don't realize that the P.O.W.s plan to use the upcoming big game as a means of escaping.

The Allied team includes John Colby, a British officer who also played soccer before the war, and Robert Hatch, an American soldier who cares far more about gaining his freedom than the game itself. When the P.O.W.s realize they have a good shot at beating the Nazi team in front of a huge crowd, they must decide what's more important: finishing the match or getting out alive.

Released in UK as "Escape to Victory."

Co-produced by the Victory Company and Tom Stern in association with Andy Vajna and Mario Kassar.

Filmed in Panavision in Hungary; color by Metrocolor.

In addition to pro soccer player Pele, the film features other famous soccer stars, including Bobby Moore (who plays Terry Brady) and Osvaldo Ardiles (who plays Carlos Rey).
