This World War II drama set in a German POW camp follows prisoners hand-picked for a competition. Maj. Karl von Steiner (Max von Sydow), a former soccer player for the German national team, organizes a soccer match between Nazis and Allied prisoners, to be played in Paris.
With some key players, including former English soccer player Capt. John Colby (Michael Caine), the team has a good shot at winning the game … but that could foil a plan.
Introducing Hubby & the kids to one of my dad's favorite movies (we owned it on Beta). What could be better than Stallone & Pele bringing down the Nazis in a soccer match???
