Colonel Joseph Ryan (played by Frank Sinatra), an American P-38 pilot, is shot down and sent to an Italian POW camp [5, 9]. He becomes the senior officer of a mostly British group of prisoners, but his pragmatic "wait for liberation" attitude clashes with the aggressive escape plans of Major Fincham (Trevor Howard) [5, 11].
He is mockingly dubbed "Von Ryan" by the British soldiers after some of his cautious decisions unintentionally benefit the enemy, leading to the deaths of several Allied troops [3, 11].
Once on the train, Ryan leads a desperate revolt to overpower the German guards. They hijack the "Express" and attempt to re-route it through the mountains toward neutral Switzerland while being pursued by SS troops [1, 6, 11].
The 1965 film is a World War II adventure story about a daring prisoner-of-war (POW) escape from German-occupied Italy [1, 5]. Plot Summary
