Frank Sinatra takes command in "one of the most exciting of all war chases" (Los Angeles Times), Von Ryan`s Express an Oscar-nominated, full-throttle, escape thriller featuring Trevor Howard, Edward Mulhare, James Brolin and Thunderball`s Adolfo Celi.

Central Italy, August 1943. With the collapse of the Italian war effort, the SS herds 400 Allied POWs aboard a heavily guarded freight train and embarks for an internment camp in Austria. Realizing it`s their only chance to escape, Colonel Joseph Ryan and a handful of officers manage to subdue their guards and hijack the train. Barreling across Nazi-occupied Italy, Ryan and his men race for the Swiss border, as German troops, the Gestapo and a dive bombing fleet of Messerchmitts follow in deadly pursuit. "Fast, suspenseful and exciting" (Variety), Von Ryan`s Express is "a whacking good war yarn" (Life)!

Worom das de Frank Sinatra ned Felmstar het welle wärde verstoh i ned, er wär ämmu e gute Schouschpeler!

Aber de Felm fend i ächt super, das Abentüür wos sie müend beschtritte esch mega spannend ond zoglich realistisch!
