"Roger Moore, Telly Savalas, and an impossible mission in the clutches of the Nazis."
Get ready to be entertained! Pääkalloprikaati (Escape to Athena) is a classic war-adventure that combines humor, explosions, and Hollywood's brightest stars. The film is set towards the end of World War II on a Greek island, where Allied prisoners of war plan an ingenious escape – and at the same time, a little enrichment.
Roger Moore is seen as an Austrian prisoner-of-war camp commandant with an eye for ancient treasures, but he is up against a determined resistance movement and a group of resourceful prisoners. When a secret Nazi missile base and a monastery full of gold located on a mountaintop are thrown into the mix, the concoction is ready to be enjoyed.
