Full Plot Details

When Singapore surrendered to the Japanese in 1942, the Allied P.O.W.s, mostly British, but including a few Americans, were incarcerated in Changi prison. This was a P.O.W. camp like no other. There were no walls or barbed-wire fences, for the simple reason that there was no place for the prisoners to which to escape. Included among the prisoners is the American Corporal King (George Segal), a wheeler-dealer who has managed to established a pretty good life for himself in the camp. While most of the prisoners are near starvation and have uniforms that are in tatters, King eats well and and has crisp clean clothes to wear every day. His nemesis is Lieutenant Robin Grey (Sir Tom Courtenay), the camp Provost who attempts to keep good order and discipline. He knows that King is breaking camp rules by bartering with the Japanese, but can't quite get the evidence he needs to stop him. King soon forms a friendship with Lieutenant Peter Marlowe (James Fox), an upper class British officer who is fascinated with King's style and no-rules approach to life. As the story develops, it reveals the hypocrisy of the British class system and for King, the fact that his position in Changi's "society" is tenuous as best.

Three Movie Buffs - 9/10 by Scott NashA cynical look at what humanity will do to survive under extreme circumstances.
User Review - 10/10 by Roche FA morality tale of life under extreme circumstances - where triumph and disaster become interchanged, and human nature in the raw is exposed. Brilliant story.

User Review - 10/10 by Brandon Ebased on james clavells real experiences in a pow camp in WWII, read this book + his entire asian saga, there my favorates
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen (Steve) HGeorge Seagal's greatest role as the KING of a war camp!
User Review - 10/10 by Jeffro KWow. That's directing and cinematography! Can the new generation of filmmakers please watch movies, like this one, to understand how to keep an audiences attention, and how to cut between scenes while still keeping intrigue? This movies story could have gone in any one of the typical directions... but, instead, it explores directions which I have not seen in any movie about war, or POW camps, before. And I do mean directions, with an s. It's an intelligent, realistic story, in many ways. And kudos to a superb group of dramatic and charismatic actors!
User Review - 10/10 by T JTruly superior WW2 prison camp drama. Extraordinary cast of male actors.
User Review - 10/10 by Jay WMany issues, great characters, excellent acting. Hard to watch, but a microcosm of society under unbelievable stress.
User Review - 10/10 by Bill CBased on the clever novel by James Clavell, the movie misses most of the themes about class, to focus on the scheme by which enlisted POIW's in a Jap concentration camp sell rat meat to the officers.
