Storyline

It has been a long time since Caine, Bronson, Angus and Wendell, aka, 'The Chain Breakers', escaped the torturous Vietnamese POW camp. They now find themselves sharing a new prison, The Hogan Hills Retirement Home for Returned Veterans. Each of the boys has an unrealised dream they want to achieve before it's too late. So, once again they band together to devise a plan to escape this new hell. But the rules of engagement have changed, in fact, they can't even remember what they were and that's half the problem.

Trivia

Roy Billing, who plays Wendell, said of the movie: "I just liked the whole idea of a story about these guys who are suddenly thrown back together at a later age having been through a fairly intensive time in Vietnam, realising they've now all got problems of their own, and that those lead roles were all to be played by older folk. Then I saw the cast list and thought, 'wow that's amazing, there's no reason not to do it'."

Really fun

This is really fun. I find it hilarious and it's not too far fetched, making it quite believable. It is enjoyable to watch.
