A Man Escaped

The film focuses on the escape, true and until then considered impossible, of a French soldier and member of the Résistance (Commander André Dévigny) sentenced to death and held captive in a Nazi prison. But his escape depends on Jost (Charls Le Clainche), and the commander only has two possibilities: either kill him or trust him.

A masterpiece of French cinema, the film illustrates the struggle for freedom. Through an individual story it became a symbol of the history of millions of people. This film is based on the memories of André Devigny, who successfully escaped from Fort Montlucin Lyonin, in 1943.
