"Escape from Sobibor" is a made-for-TV film which aired in 1987 on CBS. It deals with the extermination camp at Sobibor, the site of the most successful uprising by Jewish prisoners of German extermination camps (there were two other uprisings, at Auschwitz and Treblinka). The film was directed by Jack Gold.

On October 14, 1943, members of the camp's underground resistance succeeded in covertly killing eleven SS officers and a number of Ukrainian guards. Of the 600 inmates in the camp, roughly 300 escaped, although most were later re-captured and killed. The escape forced the Nazis to close the death camp, dismantling it and planting a forest.

The screenplay was based on the book of the same name written by Richard Rashke. Alan Arkin, Joanna Pacula and Rutger Hauer were the primary stars of the film. After it was filmed at Avala, Yugoslavia, Rutger Hauer received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Television).
