In the two-time Golden Globe-winning war drama Escape from Sobibor, director Jack Gold (Aces High, Man Friday) tackles the shocking story of the Sobibor concentration camp and the prisoners who decide to try to escape. The camp executed hundreds of thousands of people and forced those spared from immediate death into hard labor, but is less known to posterity than other similar camps because the Nazis did everything they could to destroy the evidence and prevent the story of the escape plan from coming out.
