Hart's War (2002) - a fantastic WW2 prison camp story with Bruce Willis, Colin Farrell and Terrence Howard in the lead roles. Some brilliant acting by every one and a really excellent credible production and well worth seeing again. 9/10
Story is a bit different to the usual prison camp stories in that a young Lieutenant (Colin Farrell) is given the task to defend a black co-prisoner (Terrence Howard) who was falsely accused of murder - so for a while we are thinking this is a court case in a prison camp story. And in the end how the court case was used to distract the Germans while the top ranking Colonel Hart (Bruce Willis) arranged a daring escape (underground tunnels) and bombing of adjacent German arsenals.
