This movie recounts the tale of the largest successful escape ever staged from a Nazi concentration camp. The movie is based on the book by Richard Raske, which is based on the factual account of what happened at the Sobibor prison. The camp was part work camp, and part death camp. The movie shows the deception used by the German guards to maintain order and control while sending hundreds of people at a time to their death in the "showers". It also shows some of the prisoners who helped, some more willing than others to work with the Germans. There are a couple of small, unsuccessful escape attempts early in the movie, which lead to the circumstances under which the remaining prisoners who were seriously considering escape decided they must plan an escape which would free all 600 prisoners in the work camp. The planning and execution of the plan are fairly well shown in the movie, along with the fears and feelings of those involved in the planning.
 If you have any interest in the German concentration camps of World War II this film is surely one which will interest you. While not that big of a fan of war movies myself, I did find the way this movie portrayed the workings of the camp interesting. I was also pleased with the segment at the end of the movie which told what later happened to several of the main characters from the movie.

There is a brief sequence fairly early in the movie which shows nude women and children being herded into the showers. For the most part (except for the young children) they are covering themselves with their hands. There are a few women's breasts clearly exposed, and one boy does run from the group at about a 45 degree angle toward the camera showing full frontal nudity, then after turning the corner of building is seen clearly from behind.
