Escape from Sobibor is a 1987 British television film which aired on ITV and CBS.[1] It is the story of the mass escape from the Nazi extermination camp at Sobibor, the most successful uprising by Jewish prisoners of German extermination camps (uprisings also took place at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka). The film was directed by Jack Gold and shot in Avala, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). The full 176-minute version shown in the UK[note 1] on 10 May 1987 was pre-empted by a 143-minute version shown in the United States on 12 April 1987.
The script, by Reginald Rose, was based on Richard Rashke's 1983 book of the same name,[2] along with a manuscript by Thomas Blatt, "From the Ashes of Sobibor", and a book by Stanisław Szmajzner, Inferno in Sobibor.[3] Alan Arkin, Joanna Pacuła, and Rutger Hauer were the primary stars of the film. The film received a Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries or Television Film[4] and Hauer received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role—Television Film or Miniseries.[5] Esther Raab[6][7] was a camp survivor who had assisted Rashke with his book and served as a technical consultant.[8]
