Alan Arkin, Joanna Pacula and Rutger Hauer head an international cast in Escape From Sobibor, the hard-hitting and powerful film of one of the few stories of triumph to have emerged from the holocaust of World War Two. Directed by award-winning British film-maker Jack Gold, the film depicts the remarkable events which led to a mass escape by nearly three hundred Jews from one of the most notorious death camps of the Third Reich. Sobibor was built by the Nazis in Eastern Poland for the mass extermination of Jews in Europe. In less than eighteen months nearly a quarter of a million men, women and children were systematically gassed to death there. On October 14th 1943, the inmates put into action a terrifyingly ambitious plan: a plan which gave every prisoner the chance to escape and survive.
