Plot Summary
"Von Ryan's Express" features a troop of allied soldiers trying to break away from a prison camp in Italy. While the majority of the prisoners at the camp are British, a strong-minded, quick-witted American Air Force colonel takes charge and leads the escape, which requires that the prisoners to sneak onto a German train bound for Switzerland. Ryan, an American POW, leads his fellow prisoners on a hazardous escape from the Germans in Italy by taking over the German train. Having apparently made errors of judgment, Ryan has to earn the support of the British soldiers he is commanding.
Customer Reviews
Its A Guy Thing..
A fun action movie with twists and thrills and Frank Sinatra. Yes it looks old and the special effects are not very special but its a film for the guys on Saturday night. A thundering German prison train captured by the Brits led by Frankie (Ryan) hoping to lead them to the safety of the Swiss Alps with all kinds of issues pending throughout the journey. A film I have watched perhaps 20 times but I still get a kick out of it...
