The Great Escaper (Masterpiece) on DVD

The Great Escaper tells the true story of Bernard Jordan, who made global headlines in the summer of 2014. 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. Michael Caine and the late, two-time Oscar® winner Glenda Jackson star as Bernard Jordan and his wife, Rene. While Bernie is on his 48-hour trip to Normandy, Rene recalls their younger days and falling in love during WWII. The Great Escaper celebrates Bernie and Rene's enduring love but keeps an eye on the lessons to be learned from the Greatest Generation.
