Do you know the name of a WWII Nazi Concentration Camp movie?!
Question: It is an old movie. At least more than 10 years i would say.
In the movie the Jews were kept in the concentration camp. They travelled on trains. Some were killed by gases. Some were ordered to work for German in the camp. And they were getting a plan to break out. In the end some of them did it, some got shot. It's like that. Do you have any idea? Thanks!

Here's one I know of, but I'm sure there are others.
Escape from Sobibor (1987 TV movie)
From Wikipedia:
"Escape from Sobibor" deals with the extermination camp at Sobibór, 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 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 to hide what they had done.
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).
Here's a second film, which is more recent:
The Grey Zone (2001)
From Wikipedia:
"The Grey Zone", directed by Tim Blake Nelson, stars David Arquette, Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel, Mira Sorvino and Daniel Benzali. It is based on the book "Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account" by Dr. Miklos Nyiszli. The title comes from the title of an essay by Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi.
The film tells the story of the Sonderkommando XII in the Auschwitz concentration camp in October 1944. These prisoners were made to assist the Germans in shepherding their victims to the gas chambers and dispose of the bodies in ovens. ...
Wikipedia synopsis, mentioning trains and the insurrection:
A new trainload of Hungarian-Jewish prisoners arrives and all are immediately sent to the gas chambers. ... The insurrection begins and Crematoria I and III are destroyed with the smuggled explosives. All the Sonderkommandos who survive the explosions and gunfights with the SS are captured. They are held until the fire in the crematorium is extinguished and executed shortly after.

I'll see if I can find any others that might fit what you are asking about. "Escape from Sobibor" is perhaps the most famous. I recall it being praised.
