We've got two double passes to give away, valued at $40 each, before it opens in cinemas on March 7.
In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. 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.
It was a story that captured the imagination of the world as Bernie embodied the defiant, "can-do" spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing.
Bernie's adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene (Glenda Jackson).
The film was directed by Oliver Parker (Dorian Gray, The Importance of Being Earnest) and written by William Ivory (Made In Dagenham).
