Ryan, een Amerikaanse kolonel, wordt neergeschoten en belandt in een gevangenenkamp in Italië. Hier is hij de hoogste in rang. Zijn gespeelde gewilligheid om zich aan alle kampregels te houden, geeft hem al gauw de bijnaam Von Ryan.
Nee, helaas is Von Ryan's Express nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
