Led by their leader, they orchestrate a massive breakout of hundreds of prisoners. The film's first half is a comedic tale of prisoners outsmarting their captors to dig an escape tunnel, while the second half unfolds as a thrilling adventure, as they utilize planes, trains, and boats to evade capture and escape occupied Europe.
