I was around 8 when I first saw this great film. I did not know it at the time, but it was based on a true story. Recently, a group went out to find the original tunnel. They had to research the location of the camp, and then approximate the location for the tunnel. To their surprise, they found it! They even found the "door" plate and the gripping tool to pull it out (as seen in the movie). They then brought in one of the survivors to inspect the dig, and he was totally amazed at what they had found. Pull this movie out and blow off the dust. It is so worth it! Here is an interactive map of the escape tunnel "Harry".
