OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
The Great Escape Makes the Tunnel a Schedule
The escape works because the plan is a calendar, not a wish. Digging, disposal, documents, wardrobe, surveillance, and train timing create one shared pressure system.
Why it works
The movie teaches process before payoff. By the time the tunnel opens, suspense comes from dependencies the audience understands: if one job slips, the whole machine becomes visible.
