About the movie
Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) was a British care-home resident who in 2014 left the facility and traveled with fellow war veterans to a Normandy beach for the 70th anniversary of the D‑Day landings. The event made international headlines as a dramatic escape and public commemoration with other veterans remembering the fallen. Behind the uplifting headlines, the trip reflected one man’s struggle to confront the enduring trauma of his wartime experiences.
