I watched this a few nights ago and it was entertaining.

The Great Escaper tells the true story of Bernard Jordan, who made global headlines in the summer of 2014. He had staged a "great escape" from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary.
Interestingly, there was a character who was also in Band of Brothers who played a similar role in both films even though the events portrayed were 70 years apart.
