Hummer have launched another promotion for the H3 with The Great Escape, a play on the star-studded 1963 movie. To the sounds of Elmer Bernstein’s original music, three office employees devise a way to escape to the hills in their Hummer H3, leaving behind copies of themselves to quell suspicion of absenteeism. Climbing through the air conditioning ducts they finally reach the outside of the building. One, however, must shred all evidence of the escape plan and it appears as though all is lost. Chad McQueen, son of Steve McQueen from the original movie, appears as a security guard playing with a baseball. The final super: “Escape Greatly”.

Funny, Steve doesn’t doesn’t have a son named Fred. You might want to check your facts.
Excellent, but I thought I was the only one who watched that movie, over and over.
Very well done.
