THE GREAT ESCAPER (2023) Official Trailer [HD] Michael Caine, Glenda Jackson - In Cinemas Now

#TheGreatEscaper - In Cinemas Now
In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. He had staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary.
It was a story that captured the imagination of the world as Bernie embodied the defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course, it wasn’t the whole story. It was an inspirational but sanitised retelling of one man’s need to come to terms with the lasting trauma of war.
Bernie’s adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene (Glenda Jackson) - THE GREAT ESCAPER celebrates their enduring love but always with an eye to the lessons we might learn from the Greatest Generation.

This trailer has turned a fifty year old man into a blubbering wreck. Christ knows how I'm going to get through the whole film! Had the pleasure of meeting Sir Michael a couple of years ago. Such a lovely gentleman.

I was there in 2014. I work as a Merchant Marine, and had just gotten off of a cable-laying ship in Cornwall. Collected my paycheck, and took the ferry over and spent an amazing week in Normandy for the 70th Anniversary. This was the same year that the WW2 Vet Bernard Jordan 'escaped' out of his nursing home and fled to France for the celebrations. I cannot watch this trailer without tearing up. I've been to 70 countries, 49 states, and all 7 continents. Normandy for D-Day was the best ever. I still tear up when I think about the time i spent there.

[@spizzenergi2292]

Took my 94 year old mum to this film in York…after 100 Malteser’s later, back in the car, “Robert he is the best actor ever”

[@lars90a]

Finally a film with substance and a story. Sir Michael Caine is a great actor. In an age where films are only about violence, CGI or comedy, it's great to see a film with a story, content and a purpose.

[@boltbolt8038]

Have you seen his previous film: "Best Sellers"? Yet ANOTHER Michael Caine classic!

[@CSC52698]

He's definitely getting nominated for an Oscar. I believe he'll win it too.

[@richardscally694]

Yes he deserves it.

I just watched this movie.... as I am a huge fan of Michael Caine. This would be the first time I have ever called a movie Beautiful.... As a 60 year old, never been involved in any wars, but totally respect my elders and those that took partin WW2. This movie is a Beautiful movie. Absolutely brilliant acting by Sir Michael and Glenda Jackson... it most certainly made me cry. Hats off to all involved. We souldnever forget those souls of the war. RIP.

Where did you watch it? I’ve searched Apple TV, prime, Hulu, hbo, peacock, paramount, amc I’m bummed I couldn’t rent it

I felt sad about Glenda Jackson's death too. But she lived an extremely full life. Also, she did win two Academy Awards, three Emmy Awards and a Tony Award. Plus her talent was simply beyond all that stuff. ❤

[@janekavanagh-ford5735]

I visited my father’s uncle’s grave near Villers Bretonneux and attended the Anzac Day dawn service in April. Anzac Day being a commemoration of WWI. I watched this on the plane back to Australia. So many tears. And it was hard to release the emotions in a very confined space.

Well Micheal Cane Enjoy Your Retirement At Age Of 90 God Bless You Sir

[@crampoos]

Absolutely the most beautiful new film I have seen in last few years. Or more. I could elaborate number of reasons why and what impressed my that much. But I just can't nor won't let go this beautiful feeling right after watching it. Everybody, literally ..everybody must see this one. Complete...life in little more than hour and half. So beautiful.

[@alwaysblake148]

Well, of course, I will see this film. The true story is wonderful and the trailer looks like a home run. And to see two of the world's great actors together one last time makes it even more extraordinary.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

I love Glenda Jackson. (RIP)

[@lizjones4994]

As a local resident, I was delighted to watch the film shoot happening in Twickenham last year, it was a great honour to meet Sir Michael Caine!

I want to see this now so badly! It looks really touching and a perfect send-off to the late Glenda Jackson. And a great way to end Sir Michael Caine's acting career.❤

The clip at the cementary torn me up. They were so young, and now never grow old. Caine, being a Korean war vet, knows too well.

[@peterhoughton3770]

See it! I just did- what a pair. A good one for this week too as it’s now the 80th anniversary of d day. 10 years after the film was set. And there are still a handful of ‘coffin dodgers’ on the beach this year. Love to all of them. And thanks.

What a lovely story and movie, I look forward to seeing this, I’m sure I’ll cry, lovely actors and great to see them both on screen. 👍🍻🇬🇧

[@skuttlebucket]

THE GREAT ESCAPER... In time to come this film will become an understated Classic. Personally I believe it to be a true classic of cinema-Story-telling, it is both a magnificent tribute to both Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson - a fitting memory of these gifted actors, and the art of underplaying their role to fulfil the characters they are playing. A superb final role for such wonderful talent. It is also a fantastic tribute to the Finest Generations this Nation will ever produce. From and through the brutality of a generation of the First World War, through and to the Finest Generation of World War Two. This film is a tribute to the no-nonsense, humorous, yet stoic qualities of 'grin and bare it' generation - born of communities that sacrificed and suffered 1939-1945; after their parents had been through the hell of the 'Great War 1914-1918... with all of it horror over spilling into their early years. This film is a true diamond in the rough, a real gem, a very fitting tribute a Generation - A Forgotten Britain; a Britain now soured by selfish profiteering and Greed a Britain were very few actually WILL Remember Them. A Gentle Story of Love, Loyalty, & Steadfastness.

[@peterhoughton3770]

Oh gawd... the trailers got me bawling! RIP Glenda Jackson. She was an old left wing warrior. And Caine a working class lad who embraced upward mobility as a cockney. I love that they can hold hands and 'fall in love' on screen... as we should all try to do in life. Caine is such a beautiful presence on screen. I'll be there.

I met a WWII vet at the war museum in Ottawa Ontario. Being the young kid I was I had so many questions. Some of which couldn’t be answered, however I brought up a quote that I read from CoD 3 which I think went “every war is a civil war, as we are all brothers and sisters.” He smiled and said “every year, for one day me and my comrades have dinner with German who we fought against on the same battlefields. We always tell them that they put up a damn good fight.” This was many years ago, hitting 30 now. I hope that vet is doing well.

[@Red3rdRock]

I think we’re going to need to bring tissues for this one.

[@nicknash331]

I’ve never I’ve never teared up over a movie but holy shit! Not sure I can get through this.

[@superkjell]

The cemetery scene reminds me of the quote by another great British actor, David Niven, who served in the second world war ‘I was asked by some American friends to search out the grave of their son near Bastogne. I found it where they told me I would be, but it was among 27,000 others, and I told myself that here, Niven, were 27,000 reasons why you should keep your mouth shut after the war.’

[@steele8280]

Charming as heck. Put on my must-watch list.

[@iwantmymoneyback2804]

That generation understood the value of life because they saw the horrors of war. "What a waste". Indeed. And keeps happening again, and again, and again. Humans don't learn.

[@victorocallaghan6791]

I was in Normandy for the 70th anniversary in 2014. I have been there numerous times since. Next year, the 80th will be the last big event for the vererans as the youngest of them will be 98. This trailer brings me back happy memories of meeting those incredible men who liberated Europe and suffered so much but come back to Normandy every year to comemorate their fallen comrades.

If the movie is half as good as the preview it's a must see

Of course, the accepted premise that a person with capacity and free will has to 'escape' an aged care facility just shows how appalling the rights and dignity of older citizens is abused in our society.

[@bazookatooth]

He didnt escape. The care home staff were just concerned when he came back. because their job is to... care

[@RussellNelson]

Bernie didn't have to escape. He was competent to make his own way to France, and come back. It makes a better story that he "escaped."
