About This Quote

In the movie The Great Escape, a team of prisoners is attempting to escape from a German PoW camp during World War II. In one scene, a group of prisoners working on the escape route comes upon a massive wooden wall. The only way out of the wall is over it. The prisoners take a running start and jump at the top of the wall, holding onto it for dear life.

After hanging on for a moment, one man pulls his comrade up by his hand and another pushes him to safety so he can climb down. By teaming up and working together, the prisoners were able to accomplish one of their most important missions.
