About Escape to Athena
During the World War II, the prisoners of a German camp in a Greek island are trying to escape. They not only want their freedom, but also seek an ineffable treasure hidden in a monastery at the summit of the island's mountain.
Directed by George P. Cosmatos, Escape to Athena leans on a strong ensemble — Roger Moore, Telly Savalas, David Niven — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1979.
