This is no ordinary soccer match. This is war! The battlefield: a stadium in occupied Paris. The armies: German all-stars vs. ragtag Allied POWs. The objective: demonstrate another “proof” of Aryan superiority. Guess who wins. Better yet, guess who cleverly uses the match as a means of escape. Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine and Max von Sydow star in this rouser directed by the legendary John Huston. The climactic match is a heart-in-the-throat, hat-in-the-air exhibition of brute force and balletic grace featuring soccer legends Pel�, Bobby Moore, Osvaldo Ardiles, Co Prins, Mike Summerbee and more. Score a splendid entertainment goal for Victory!

John Huston directs a worldwide line-up of superstars in this rousing variation on the prison sports flick. Huston raises the stakes considerably, placing the action inside the confines of a WWII POW camp. Max von Sydow plays the Nazi commander who commissions an Axis versus Allies football match (or soccer to us Yanks), Michael Caine plays the Brit team captain, and Sylvester Stallone plays the requisite American. Joining them on the field are some of the greatest footballers the globe has ever seen, including Bobby Moore, Osvaldo Ardiles, Kazimierz Deyna, Paul Van Himst, Mike Summerbee, Hallvar Thoresen, Werner Roth and the greatest of them all, Pelé. Huston’s high-kicking action packs an extra wallop on this High Definition 1080p presentation! Includes Original Theatrical Trailer (HD). 16×9 Letterbox
