Escape from Sobibor (1987) is a powerful made-for-television film that dramatizes the true story of the largest and most successful prisoner escape during the Holocaust.
Directed by Jack Gold and based on Richard Rashke’s book of the same name, the film is a harrowing depiction of the courage, desperation, and resilience of the prisoners who rose up against their Nazi captors.
Plot and Setting:
The film is set in Sobibor, one of the Nazi extermination camps located in occupied Poland. Unlike Auschwitz, Sobibor’s sole purpose was the mass execution of Jews. The story follows a group of Jewish prisoners who, led by Soviet POW Alexander Pechersky (played by Rutger Hauer), orchestrate a daring plan to revolt against the guards and escape the camp. The film captures the meticulous planning and execution of the revolt, highlighting the intense fear and hope that drove the prisoners to risk their lives for freedom.
