THE GREAT ESCAPER (2023) Official Trailer [HD] Michael Caine, Glenda Jackson – In Cinemas Now

#TheGreatEscaper – In Cinemas Now

In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) 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.

It was a story that captured the imagination of the world as Bernie embodied the defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course, it wasn’t the whole story. It was an inspirational but sanitised retelling of one man’s need to come to terms with the lasting trauma of war.

Bernie’s adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene (Glenda Jackson) – THE GREAT ESCAPER celebrates their enduring love but always with an eye to the lessons we might learn from the Greatest Generation.

This trailer has turned a fifty year old man into a blubbering wreck. Christ knows how I'm going to get through the whole film! Had the pleasure of meeting Sir Michael a couple of years ago. Such a lovely gentleman.

Finally a film with substance and a story. Sir Michael Caine is a great actor. In an age where films are only about violence, CGI or comedy, it's great to see a film with a story, content and a purpose.

I just watched this movie.... as I am a huge fan of Michael Caine. This would be the first time I have ever called a movie Beautiful....
As a 60 year old, never been involved in any wars, but totally respect my elders and those that took partin WW2. This movie is a Beautiful movie. Absolutely brilliant acting by Sir Michael and Glenda Jackson... it most certainly made me cry. Hats off to all involved. We souldnever forget those souls of the war. RIP.

Well, I've never teared up during the trailer for a film before, but I have now.

[johnriley]

where he cries and says "What a waste" I admit I chocked up

He's definitely getting nominated for an Oscar. I believe he'll win it too.

RIP Glenda Jackson (May 9, 1936 – June 15, 2023), aged 87
You will be remembered as a legend.

Absolutely the most beautiful new film
I have seen in last few years. Or more.
I could elaborate number of reasons why
and what impressed my that much.
But I just can't nor won't let go this beautiful
feeling right after watching it.
Everybody, literally ..everybody must see this one.
Complete...life in little more than hour and half.
So beautiful.

I’m so gutted about Glenda Jackson’s death. I hope she can get a posthumous Oscar nom for this final role.

Awww what a beautiful movie 🎥😍👏❤👌 best actors ever ❤👏
Truly appreciate the making of this
Wonderful movie 🎥
It's the memory's we must pass
On.. And never to forget...
Our grandparents are telling there
Story's of a time there was hope"
innocents" love" fear" an sadness"
No one wants war or asks for it...
Yet it's our loved ones who go...
I Salute all the military service
Men and women who do what they
Must in the name of freedom!!! ✊

I visited my father’s uncle’s grave near Villers Bretonneux and attended the Anzac Day dawn service in April. Anzac Day being a commemoration of WWI. I watched this on the plane back to Australia. So many tears. And it was hard to release the emotions in a very confined space.

[lizjones]

I laughed and mostly cried all the way through.
Amazing film.
Michael Caine and the late, great Glenda Jackson absolutely superb 👏👏👏

[alwaysblake]

Well, of course, I will see this film. The true story is wonderful and the trailer looks like a home run. And to see two of the world's great actors together one last time makes it even more extraordinary.

[ibbi]

A truly wonderful and inspiring film about compassion and camaraderie a thing that is missing in this Day and Age

[cherrybullimore]

Wow 2 of the greatest actors. Well chosen and absolutely fit the role. Inspirational human beings 😊

[jacklong]

I want to see this now so badly! It looks really touching and a perfect send-off to the late Glenda Jackson. And a great way to end Sir Michael Caine's acting career.❤

[bridgetdoman]

Went to see this today but too late, only a late morning start - 11.50 - thinking there was a showing around 2pm, so will go later in the week. Can't wait to see it. I love true stories.

[sabinebrignell]

As a local resident, I was delighted to watch the film shoot happening in Twickenham last year, it was a great honour to meet Sir Michael Caine!

[kiwame]

I lost it! (kiwi for broke down) it's like i was watching my 94 yr old beautiful father who passed last year ...

GOD GIVE ME LIFE, LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THIS MOVIE AND IT’S GREAT ACTORS - JUST TO REMIND ME OF A GREAT GENERATION OF GOOD MEN AND WOMEN.
