The Great Escaper (2024)
In the summer of 2014, during the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings, octogenarian Bernie Jordan (Michael Caine) made headlines by escaping his care home to join fellow veterans in Normandy. The story symbolized the defiant spirit of a vanishing generation but wasn’t the whole truth. This bitter-sweet script blends wit and heart to explore deeper realities. Over 48 hours, Bernie’s journey also became a tribute to his 60-year marriage to Irene (Glenda Jackson), celebrating their love with honesty and reflecting on lessons from the Greatest Generation.
