Colonel Joseph L. Ryan (Sinatra), an American pilot, is shot down in UsefulNotes/FascistItaly and put in a Fascist prisoner of war camp there, where he becomes the new ranking officer among the Allied prisoners. He's nicknamed "Von Ryan" by the mainly British prisoners for his initial concessions to the jailers, spoiling previous escape preparations in order to improve current conditions for the prisoners.
Despite proving that he's willing to both push their jailers and suffer for his beliefs, the name catches on when Ryan sparing the life of the camp commander in the wake of the Italian surrender leads to the [=POWs=] being recaptured by the Germans, who load the survivors on a train headed for a German camp. In the shadow of the Italian Alps, Ryan and the British [=POWs=] take control of the train; trapped behind enemy lines, their only option is to pretend to still be under German control and avoid suspicion [[RunForTheBorder while heading for neutral Switzerland]]. But it's not long until the Germans are in hot pursuit.
While making the film Sinatra met his future wife Mia Farrow (29 years his junior), who was shooting the TV show ''Literature/PeytonPlace'' on the same lot.
