The Great Escape- Out of the Tunnel

During the Second World War, Allied POW’s are in a camp as the Germans are always watching them. However by making their move against them, they dug a tunnel from beneath the camp as they make their escape. This is where they need to get out of the tunnel fast during an air raid.

Without a doubt, the most exciting moment in the movie. I have watched this film over one hundred times and I keep on getting nervous as if I were one of the prisoners trying to escape.

Even tough guys can have phobias. Danny is all too human.

Seeing Danny have to face his fears in the dark tunnel during the air raid was one of the highlights of the entire movie for me. Charles Bronson is usually cast to play the "tough guy" archetype, but this shows he has range as an actor.

see you in piccadilly....
"scott's bar"

what a line to such a great film

[alanknotts]

It's a pity that none of them made it to Scott's Bar in Piccadilly, what a night that would have been!

Favorite movie of all time. First saw this as a little kid with my dad, and now I've seen it over 100 times. For some time now I've been looking for this exact clip, thank you so much for uploading one of the most important scenes in my favorite movie of all time!

I can’t even begin to imagine what it would have been like....these were proper heroes

[davidaltman]

considering the things that went wrong it`s a wonder they got out as many as they did. besides the tunnel being to short. there was a delay durning the air raid, lighting the fat lamps. also remember the scene where they told the guy that trunk wouldnt make it. in real life the trunk snaged the side of the tunnel causing a small cave in that had to be fixed in a hurry

[philtube]

one of my top 5 films and at 3:30 says it all about who? built the tunnel and the struggle he had, love it

[alexandrebertrand-lafleur]

0:23 David McCallum and Steve McQueen (Eric and Hilts)

I believe this is one of the only movies that doesn't have a female speaking part.

Super very good movie Excellent performance very nice acting!

It all went well until after prisoner number 76 escaped; their luck ran out at 5 am when a German guard stumbled upon the tunnel exit.

How on earth did they come up short with the tunnel.

[angloaust]

In reality there was much snow
Still around causing them to keep to the roads
Only three made it to freedom
A dutchman and two norwegians who stowed away
On a swedish ship!

[AlonsoRules]

why did they not build some extra length in the tunnel for insurance lol

[joestraw]

Why is Steve McQueen wearing white pants?
