George Heisler's anti-Nazi leanings land him in a concentration camp. However, he is not content to sit back and accept his fate. He and six fellow inmates decide to carry out a risky escape plan. Though their scheme works, the ex-prisoners realize that getting beyond the barbed wire and armed guards was only the beginning of an arduous trip; staying alive in a totalitarian state proves more challenging than any of them had expected. The camp's commandant, furthermore, reserves seven trees for the escapees, so that, when captured, each can be crucified. When six men are caught, only George remains free. And "The Seventh Cross" awaits its victim. [More]
