Victory (1981) - Victory (1981) - Blu-ray

This is no ordinary soccer match. This is war! The battlefield: a stadium in occupied Paris. The armies: German all-stars vs. Ragtag Allied POWs. The objective: demonstrate another "proof" of Aryan superiority. Guess who wins. Better yet, guess who cleverly uses the match as a means of escape. Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine and Max von Sydow star in this rouser directed by the legendary John Huston. The climactic match is a heart-in-the-throat, hat-in-the-air exhibition of brute force and balletic grace featuring soccer legends Pel, Bobby Moore, Osvaldo Ardiles, Co Prins, Mike Summerbee and more. Score a splendid entertainment goal for Victory!
