Hoy es día de fuga

La historia

A finales de 1942, sir Ernest Pease, un investigador científico tan eminente como carente de sentido del humor, es embarcado en un bombardero para que pueda comprobar en directo el funcionamiento del radar que ha diseñado. Para no despertar alarmas ni sospechas se le inventa la personalidad de teniente Farrow. Pero el bombardero es atacado y el falso teniente, que cae en terreno enemigo, es apresado por la Luftwaffe y llevado a un campo de prisioneros. Para Sir Pease lo peor de la situación es tener que compartir cabaña y actividades diarias con un grupo de compatriotas que tratan de llevar su encierro de la mejor manera posible y que para él no son más que ‘idiotas irresponsables’. El Primer Ministro británico logra enviar un mensaje a los prisioneros: han de hacer lo imposible para que importante personaje escape del campo.
