Editorial Review:
The Great Escape image of Steve McQueen (as "The Cooler King") astride his motorcycle has entered silver-screen iconography, alongside Brando on his bike from The Wild One.

Rating:  - Great movie - If it had both disks
It's pretty horrible when only the special featers disk is included in a 2 disk set. The DVD case is also only a one disk case.
