Victory (1981)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083284/

Allied POWs soccer team play in a game against Nazi Germany's top soccer team and uses the opportunity to plan an escape....

.... starring a star studded cast including Michael Caine, Max von Sydow, Sylvester Stallone and 18 real life international soccer players stars including Pelé, Bobby Moore, John Wark and Osvaldo Ardiles.

Directed by legendary director John Huston, this was a decent movie except it doesn't know whether it wants to be a World War II epic with political and propaganda angle and good guy vs. bad guy or just a film about soccer.

It would probably had worked better if the Word War II subplot was removed and they just made it a plain simple soccer movie.

3/5
