The Great Escaper Trailer
Two British screen legends bring an extraordinary true story to the big screen.
Michael Caine and the late Glenda Jackson star as husband and wife in a heartwarming love story between a couple who met during the Second World War and the incredible journey one of them embarks on seventy years later. Caine stars as octogenarian Bernard Jordan, a veteran who executes a “great escape” from his care home to attend the seventieth anniversary of the D-Day landings in France and honour his fallen comrades. The trailer shows how the film marries his remarkable voyage to Normandy that made headlines around the world with a tribute of his incredible seventy-year relationship with his beloved wife Rene, played by Glenda Jackson in her final film role. The Great Escaper looks set to be another heartwarming and moving film from Dad’s Army and Swimming With Men director Oliver Parker, with heaps of heart and lessons we might learn from the Greatest Generation. The journey begins in cinemas October 6.
