Bernard Jordan, a soldier from the World War Two, runs away from his house for meeting his old war friends for celebrating the Normandy landing's anniversary.

'The Great Escaper' is a British biographical drama written by Oliver Parker and directed by William Ivory. It is based in the real story of Bernard Jordan, a retired veteran who fought on World War II and, at his 89 years of age, "escaped" his retirement home where he was living to travel to France, and attend the celebrations of the 70th anniversary of D-Day. It stars Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson, in the last film of the actress before dying.

Bernard Jordan (Caine) and Irene (Jackson) have been married for sixty years and they now live together in a retirement home. When Jordan finds out it's going to be the 70th anniversary of World War II D-Day, he decides to escape his retirement home and travel alone to Normandy, in France. 'The Great Escaper' not only explores the adventures of a ninety year-old man, but his necessity to confront his long lasting traumas after fighting on a war.
