Caspar, Linal Haft, Emil Wolk, Simon Gregor, Jason Norman, Robert Gwilym, Eli Nathenson, Hugo BowerIm Konzentrationslager Sobibor treffen 1943 täglich neue Transporte mit Juden ein, die fast ausnahmslos sofort vergast werden. Einige der 600 Häftlinge schmieden einen waghalsigen Fluchtplan. Es gelingt ihnen, einen Teil der Wachmannschaft zu töten und 300 Inhaftierten zur Flucht zu verhelfen.
Erschütterndes Actiondrama über den einzigen gelungenen KZ-Aufstand in der Geschichte des Dritten Reiches. Mitreißend gespielt und vom Engländer Jack Gold ("Der Schrecken der Medusa") packend inszeniert.
During WWII, the death camp at Treblinka had an escape, causing the Commandant at a similar camp in Sobibor to vow that his camp would never experience the same thing. But those who were its captives, the Jewish laborers that had been spared from the ovens, knew that they were on borrowed time and that their only hope was to escape... the only question was how to do it.

And therein lies the story, with the film being based on a factual account of what then ...
