The making of Escape To Victory seemed pretty carefree too some of the Ipswich Town boys who spent their summer in Hungary making the movie have reflected upon what a wonderful experience the shoot was. ( The Death Match, a 2012 film trumpeting itself as the ‘true’ story was released just before Euro 2012, but Ukraine initially blocked its release citing it as pro-Russian propaganda and factually inaccurate.) Escape is seen as something of a game throughout the course of the film and as the credits roll, an ecstatic crowd invades the pitch, affording our heroes not only the adulation that their accomplishments deserve but also whisking them off to freedom. Start won the game 5-3 and were executed, whisked away to work camps or were subject to other harsh treatments, depending on which version of the story you believe.Įscape To Victory, then, is a much more whimsical take on the captor/captive football match. Upon beating several German military teams and becoming local heroes for their (sporting) resistance to the German occupation, they were offered a high profile rematch and were allegedly advised to lose it (although this has been disputed). Start, a team comprised from Kiev’s two competing teams, Dynamo and Lokomotiv.

This spirited story of a group of P.O.W.s that band together to face the might of the Nazi regime in a titanic game of football that also buys them their freedom could have been so very different – especially had the film’s producers followed through on their original idea and depicted a more faithful incarnation of the movie’s historical roots.Īlthough some of the details remain shrouded in legend and blurred by competing political ideologies, the key facts remain: some of Ukraine’s finest players (and former prisoners of war) banded together to form F.C.

Stranger still though, against all of the odds, this curious prison escape/sporting showdown hybrid somehow turned out as a rather watchable movie and 25 years later, Escape To Victory still stands alongside The Great Escapeand perhaps The Magnificent Seven as the very apex of rainy bank holiday viewing, surely the truest determiner of any movie’s legacy.
