“The Great Escaper” follows Bernie Jordan (Michael Caine), a veteran who served in the Second World War, who hopes to attend the 70th anniversary of D-Day. When he checks with his nursing home to see if he can make it, he finds he’s already too late and all the tours are booked!

Encouraged by his wife Rene (Glenda Jackson), he decides to make his own way from England to France. Evading the nursing home with the help of Rene, he makes his escape.

On the way Bernie meets veterans of all kinds and explores the costs of war and what it means to have served.
