Escape To Athena is an action packed WWII film that pits a small band of Greek freedom fighters against a German battalion. It begins in a prison camp where Allied POWs are forced to spend their days unearthing priceless Greek art treasures for the Nazis. Meanwhile, in a nearby brothel, resistance fighters led by Zeno (Telly Savalas) conspire to rid their island of the German occupiers. Zeno and his men stage a daring daylight rescue of prisoners about to be executed in the village square. Then, in a race against the clock, Zeno leads a perilous raid on a German garrison stationed in a remote mountain monastery.
