When will The Great Escaper come out?
The Great Escaper will be in theatres in the UK by October 2023. We’ll let you know when it comes out in the UK, the US, and other places when we hear. At the time, it could be more precise if it will also be available on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, but we’ll let you know.
What is the story of The Great Escaper?
The Great Escaper is based on actual events that happened in 2014. The movie’s official synopsis says, “In the summer of 2014, on the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings, an 80-year-old man named Bernie Jordan made news around the world.
“He made a “great escape” from his care home to join other war veterans on a beach in Normandy to remember their fallen friends.
It was a story that everyone in the world was interested in. Bernie seemed to represent the defiant, “can-do” spirit of an age quickly dying out. “But that wasn’t the whole story, of course.
It was the story we all tell ourselves to deal with hard things like war and getting old. The story looks at the truth with humor and a lot of heart. “Bernie’s adventure, which lasted only 48 hours, was also the climax of his 60-year marriage to Rene.
The story celebrates their love without being too sentimental and with an eye toward the lessons we can all learn from the Greatest Generation.”
Does The Great Escaper have a trailer?
The Great Escaper still needs a video, but we’ll let you know when one comes out in 2023.

The Great Escaper Cast Details
In The Great Escaper, Michael Caine plays Bernard, a retired man who went to France secretly to honor his fellow World War II troops despite being worried about his health. In the 1960s, movies like “Zulu,” “The Italian Job,” “Alfie,” and “The Ipcress File” brought Michael Caine a lot of attention.
He won Oscars for his parts in The Cider House Rules and Hannah and Her Sisters. He has also been in The Muppet Christmas Carol, Little Voice, The Quiet American, Educating Rita, Jaws 4: The Revenge, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Miss Congeniality, and The Dark Knight trilogy.
Glenda Jackson plays Irene Jordan. When Jackson dies on June 15, 2023, this will be her last movie part. Irene, Bernard’s wife, is played by Glenda Jackson, a stage and movie star. She also has two Oscars, for Women in Love and A Touch of Class.
She has also been in well-known movies like “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” “Mary, Queen of Scots,” “Hedda Gabler,” and “Elizabeth is Missing,” which came out more recently.
She was in the TV movie Elizabeth R in 1971. From 1992 to 2017, she was the Labour MP for Hampstead and Highgate. During that time, she didn’t act. Dan Hodges, who writes about politics, is her only son.
In addition to Caine and Jackson, the movie’s main cast will include John Standing, Will Fletcher, and Laura Marcus. We have yet to determine who else will be in The Great Escaper, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do.
