Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite Holocaust Movie
Review: Sobibor was one of the concentration camps that killed Jews during World War II. It was the most secret camp that the nazi party established. "Esacpe from Sobibor" is a touching and very, very sad movie of how the Jews that were being held at Sobibor planned an escape. This movie is my favorite holocaust movie; and there are a lot of them.

"Escape from Sobibor" is my favorite Holocaust movie because it is very suspenseful. The Jews make a plan and as the movie develops you gain more of an interest for this movie and what will happen to the Jews. The actors were very good and depicted the Jewish people in Sobibor very well. The concentration camp depicted what it was really like to be at one of the camps during WWII.

I will continue to watch this movie over the years. i recommend this film to anybody that is interested in the Holocaust and would like a little drama added to the story. This is my favorite Holocaust movie and you'll probably enjoy this movie. This is a film that's not to be missed.

Happy Viewing!

Summary: Hauer is as good as we always suspected
Review: Somehow I just knew hauer could be an exceptional actor. You get glimpses of it in his performances in films like "Blade Runner" and "Lady Hawk". But here in this film, as a captured Russian Jewish soldier,plotting the escape of the entire prison population of a Nazi concentration camp, he shines. I first saw this movie on The History Channel, but don't hold that against it. The plot is captivating, the acting superb, and the rush you get during the simultaneously terrible and glorious climax is powerful. Equal to Schindler's list at a fraction of the budget, this is a MUST SEE film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most moving movie I have ever seen
Review: The movie "escape from Sobibor" is such a realistic porthret of what realy has happend in that camp, that it freightens most of the viewers. This movie gave me so many nightmares, others would think the movie is scary. Yes, but it's scary in another way. The way human can act towards another is just beyond my imagination. This movie is worth seeing it over and over...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sobibor for small televisions
Review: This is a great story- about triumph under the most extreme of circumstances. Its based on actual accounts of witnesses and has the tension and drama only a true story could provide. The problem is that the 4x3 dvd transfer is so bad it looks like a nearsighted and or drunk technician took a wonderful movie and smeared it onto a dvd in a fit of stupor. Please- see the movie on tv-but dont even think about buying this dvd unless you have a 5 inch tv.

Summary: Harry Chown
Review: This is an excellent movie easily recommended by me and my family.

WW2 concentration camp movie As the escape begins they have to cross a mine field. With the watchmen firing machine bullets aswell

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent made-for-TV WW2 true story
Review: This is the best made-for-tv movie (broadcast network) that depicts true events I have ever seen. Rutger Hauer and Alan Arkin are excellent as a Russian POW and a Jewish concentration camp prisoner who lead an uprising in a German concentration camp. It left me feeling "at least SOMEONE in a concentration camp stuck it to the Nazis." It also made me wish more had been able to. It's surprisingly graphic for a made-for-tv movie (I think it was on CBS); it shows naked women lined up to enter the showers (gas chambers). Just a word of warning to parents.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Touching and interesting
Review: This movie follows a group of prisoners in the concentration camp Sobibor planning to escape. They soon realize that if they manage to escape, other prisoners will get killed, so they have to see to that all the prisoners in the entire camp can escape at the same time. The group, led by Leon (Alan Arkin), soon gets help from a Russian (Rutger Hauer).

It's a slow moving film that portrays the life in the concentration camp, the prisoner's way of trying to do the best of their situation, not giving up and keep living to get revenge. It also shows how brutal a man can get when he gets power over others.

It's well written with many great scenes, has excellent acting by all actors, especially by Arikin and Hauer, and is sometimes quite touching. It's a very good movie that makes you think and can lead to interesting discussions. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thrilling account of Jews who fought at any cost.
Review: This movie fully details the daring escape from the Nazi concentration camp of Sobibor in Poland. Led by a Polish soldier and Jewish seamstress the Jews kill off all the leading Nazis until the day of their daring, unforgettable escape into the forest to freedom. One of the best movies of the Holocaust I have ever seen. Excellent for those interested in the Holocaust.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Escape fro Sobibor
Review: This movie is a true story about the only "successful" escape from a Nazi Death camp. There were escapes from other camps but not at this level and certainly not from one of the 6 death camps. It answers some intriguing questions about why other attempts weren't tried when the guards where so grossly outnumbered. The intelligence about the camp and the guards supplied by the Jews mixed with the might and war knowledge of the Russian POWs is the reason this was possible. It is entertaining and informative.
