10 Best Prisoners of War Movies of All Time According to the Cinemaholic

"Prisoners of wars or POW are those people who get captured during wars or battles. They could be either combatants or non-combatants. History suggests that in the early days, there were no concept of keeping a captured combatant alive, until he was of certain importance. Civilians were often disposed without much qualm. As time passed, warfare became modern and the treatment of the captured enemy posed question to the people in charge. At times the captured tried to flee, only to be caught and killed. Sometimes the atrocities towards the POWs made news, but often their plight went unnoticed. So regulations were made and changed multiple times to decide the most humane response towards the captured enemy, barring few exceptions. Cinema has often tried to portray these stories, either via showcasing the endurance of the captured or the atrocities committed towards them. We, at the Cinemaholic, bring you the list of top prisoner of war movies ever." - thecinemaholic.com
