If you loved Papillon, try Patton - Rebell in Uniform
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen

uplifting
What Patton - Rebell in Uniform is
Desert landscape, summer sun, a tank column rumbling. A general's temper frays, his will hardened, the war machine rolling forward. Schaffner grounds a larger-than-life figure.
