Escape From Sobibor
Actors: Alan Arkin, Joanna Pacula
Director: Jack Gold
Escape from Sobibor was a made-for-TV movie which aired in 1987 about Sobibór, the site of the only successful uprising by Jewish prisoners from a Nazi extermination camp, also called a death camp. It was directed by Jack Gold.
On October 14, 1943, members of the camp’s underground succeeded in covertly killing 11 SS and a number of Ukrainian guards. Of the 600 inmates in the camp, roughly 300 escaped, although most were later re-captured and killed. The escape forced the Nazis to close the camp, dismantling it and planting a forest to hide what they had done.
The screenplay was based on the book of the same name written by Richard Rashke. Alan Arkin and Rutger Hauer were the primary stars of the film. It was filmed at Avala, Yugoslavia. Rutger Hauer received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (television).
