Description:
When U.S. combat pilot Col. Joseph Ryan (Frank Sinatra) is captured by Nazis, he does what it takes to survive prison camp, including, by all appearances, befriend the enemy. Hence, his prison mates give Ryan the insulting nickname ?Von Ryan.? But in time, Ryan takes over from the commanding British officer (Trevor Howard) and masterminds commandeering a train to Switzerland ? with the Nazis in hot pursuit. It?s all blazing action, hair-raising chases and spectacular Italian scenery in this Oscar® nominated* adventure that will blast you full speed ahead until its nail-biting finale!

I believe that this movie is one of the best screen performances Frank Sinatra has ever given, the screen play is also excellent, this movie has been under rated in my opinion as many of Sinatra's movies are. It's a good action flick with very good performances, Trevor Howard is also a very good actor.

I'm not a big fan of fictional war movies. I mean, come on, there were so many heroic events that took place that there should never really be a need to make a plot up. But, Von Ryan's Express is fiction, and it's actually pretty well done.
The plot is a little weak at times. For the life of me I couldn't understand why, when only 6 miles from the coast the men all stopped and rested. If I'd been a prisoner of war for years and was only a 2 hour march from my own troops and freedom ... Read More

It has been said of Sinatra, not a nice person off screen but on screen, always dependable and in charge of the situation. He even outshadowed the venerable Trevor Howard in this one. As a drama, very good and as a war movie, good again. Interesting locations like the old ruins. Back to Sinatra, seen many movies with him and never a bad one.
