Synopsis

BARS CANNOT HOLD THEM. THEY PERSIST WHEN ALL THE ODDS ARE AGAINST THEM. AND THEY ESCAPE WITHIN AN INCH OF THEIR LIVES.

We'll reveal the amazing resourcefulness it took to organize the great escape of POWs during WWII and how one man's escape during WWII made him a millionaire. We'll examine how one man survived a miraculous escape from Cuba in the wheel well of a DC-8 airliner, and how another man escaped slavery by shipping himself to freedom. We'll recount the last moments of one man's only hope for freedom and hear how a journalist cleverly tiptoed past his guards to freedom. Join us as we look at the impossible odds, the strange twists of fate, and the imagination and courage of the men and women who have risked everything to be free in "The Ultimate 10 Great Escapes."
