highly recommended

When U.S. combat pilot Col. Joseph Ryan (Frank Sinatra) is captured by Nazis, he does what it takes to survive prison camp, including, by all appearances, befriend the enemy. Hence, his prison mates give Ryan the insulting nickname "Von Ryan." But in time, Ryan takes over from the commanding British officer (Trevor Howard) and masterminds commandeering a train to Switzerland ? with the Nazis in hot pursuit. It?s all blazing action, hair-raising chases and spectacular Italian scenery in this Oscar® nominated* adventure that will blast you full speed ahead until its nail-biting finale!

If only one gets out, it's a victory !

"Von Ryan's express" still stands out among the most exciting, explosive and moving epic war films ever, not only because its vibrant final in the middle of those arresting Swiss landscapes, besides it explores step by step a lesson of leadership since the Colonel Ryan must assume by range the entire command of this group of prisoners and face against all the obstacles all the way through.

In order to get the freedom, this bunch of brave men will have the best they can, from their particular trench.

Fine performances of Trevor Howard as the reluctant British officer accustomed to follow the military paradigms of his ages against this new way of approach represented by Ryan.

One of the most relevant war films ever made.

A NOVEL WAR MOVIE

Once the viewer has gotten past the fact that his movie is not based on fact, but fiction, then it's clear sailing for two hours of first rate entertainment. It's really a timeless picture, adaptable to all ages, with a simple plot, which may be responsible for multiple viewings 43 years after its release. Sinatra was a very underrated actor-"From Here to Eternity", 'The Manchurian Candidate", this film, et al. Perhaps his singing or his "friends" detracted from his filmwork, but most of it was first rate. Howard may be even better in this film, a realistic contrast of British "duty" to American expediency. In the end, Ryan must die for two reasons:too many gaffes have left too many dead, for which he must atone, and secondly, any other finale would have been trite,even absurd.Find out why this picture, beautifully photographed, continues to bring one back for more after all these years.
