Perspectives about the agendas, both hidden and public, in regard to the elites willing to take control of essential world elements and thus implant their evil plans. A perspective from a former stock market insider and financier as well an economic analyst.

WWII POWs plot a massive escape attempt to distract German resources.

Lots of potential, but a pretty boring movie. I had no investment in any of these people. After looking online, it seems that the people on which the characters are based were actually pretty interesting. But in the movie we get "I like to ride bikes."
