Von Ryan's Express (Studio Classics)

Frank Sinatra busts loose and outsmarts the Nazis!

As the Allies begin to push the Nazis back towards Germany, US combat pilot Colonel Joseph Ryan (Sinatra) is shot down and placed in a prison camp.

Initially, hes more concerned with surviving than escaping, earning him the insulting nickname Colonel von Ryan. But in time, Ryan takes over from the British commanding officer (Trevor Howard) and masterminds a daredevil race for freedom that involves commandeering a train and getting it across Italy to Switzerland with the Nazis in hot pursuit.

Then its all blazing action, hair-raising chases and spectacular Italian scenery in this Oscar-nominated adventure that runs full speed until the nail-biting finale!
