Based on a true story of allied prisoners plotting to break out of a Nazi detention camp in World War II, the film is particularly notable for McQueen’s portrayal of the irreverent “Cooler King” and for his spectacular motorcycle chase scene in which he performed his own stunts.

Entry to the film is by donation. The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St. in Lakeport. Call (707) 263-0577 or visit soperreesetheatre.com for information.
