In accordance with international law, the prisoners of war were paid a small wage for their labor. They were also afforded medical care, educational opportunities, recreational activities, and entertainment in the form of concerts and movies.
First of all, not every movie that features a prison escape or escaped prisoners is a Prison Escape Movie. To be on this list, a movie must centrally feature the escape, both tonally and practically, emphasizing the conditions that create the need for the escape, the process of planning and strategizing the escape (including through teamwork), the actual escape, being on the run or pursued or recaptured, and/or a general atmosphere of fear, fascism, paranoia, and injustice.

Okay, so, technically in The Fugitive, the wrongfully-convicted Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) does not *break out of prison* so much as run away after several prisoners hijack their transport bus and attempt to escape, but the stakes are the same. Kimble is on death row for the murder of his wife, which he absolutely did not commit, and is determined to clear his name, running like hell and changing his identity and doing everything he can to avoid capture by the jeans-wearing human bloodhound of U.S. Marshall, Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones, in an incredibly well-deserved Oscar-winning performance). I love this movie so much. Sam Gerard may not care, but I do.
The basis for the 2014 movie of the same name, Unbroken tells the story of Louis Zamperini, who survived against all odds in a series of Japanese prisoner-of-war camps during World War II. Years before the war, Zamperini had channeled his youthful defiant energy into running, a skill that took him all the way to the 1936 Berlin Olympics. During the war, he became a pilot and eventually crashed into the Pacific Ocean in May 1943.
Read the true story behind the classic movie starring Steve McQueen. In 1944, hundreds of Allied air force officers, mainly Brits and Americans, executed a daring plan to escape from the German prisoner-of-war camp Stalag Luft III. The plan took over a year to put in motion as the men secretly dug tunnels using only their hands and improvised tools, forged passports, and quietly patched disguises together, all right under the noses of their German captors. Written by an Australian inmate at Stalag Luft III, The Great Escape gives an in-depth look at this famous moment in WWII history. 2ff7e9595c
