1944年,二战临近结束时,纳粹军队在波兰东部建立了三个关押死囚犯的集中营,其中一个就叫索比堡。另外有一个集中营发生了集体逃亡事件,因而看管索比堡集中营的官员发誓决不让这种事情发生在索比堡集中营。在这个充满酷刑的集中营里,逃跑却是唯一的出路。而更为严峻的是,如果有一伙囚犯逃跑,德国人将屠杀掉相应数量的囚犯。任何一次较大规模的逃亡将意味着负责的门卫和德方的政府官员性命不保。一个死囚犯却在这种看守异常严密的集中营里,率领600人集体越狱,其中300人成功,成为历史上的奇迹。(转自VeryCD.com)During WWII, the death camp at Treblinka had an escape, causing the Commandant at a similar camp in Sobibor to vow that his camp would never experience the same thing. But those who were its captives, the Jewish laborers that had been spared from the ovens, knew that they were on borrowed time and that their only hope was to escape... the only question was how to do it. However, because the Germans would kill an equal number of others whenever a group attempted to escape, the captives knew that if ever an escape was tried, all 600 prisoners in the camp would have to be included... logistically precluding any ideas about tunnels or sneak breakouts. Indeed, to have such a mass escape could only mean that the Ukrainian guards and Germain officers would have to be killed, which many of the Jews felt simply reduced themselves to no better than their captors... thus making it a struggle of conscience. And therein lies the story, with the film being based on a factual account of what then happened at that Sobibor prison.
