Where to Watch The Great Escape(1963)

The Great Escape (1963), directed by John Sturges, is an adventure film and is available to stream on 11 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 8.2/10 and 94% on Rotten Tomatoes from 2,824 ratings, it is well-reviewed by critics and audiences alike. Released in 1963, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1960s adventure, and remains widely watched decades later.

The film stars Steve McQueen, James Garner, and Richard Attenborough. At 173 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.

If you're looking to watch The Great Escape online, the best option is Amazon Prime Video for subscribers, and it's also included with MGM Plus Roku Premium Channel and Amazon Prime Video with Ads, so subscribers to any of those services can watch without an additional rental. Prefer not to add another subscription? You can also rent or buy it from Amazon Video, Apple iTunes, and Google Play Movies. If you're picking what to watch next, it shares a vibe with Forrest Gump and Citizen Kane, both of which are available to stream right now.
