"Into the White" was a good off-beat war movie. I saw it on Netflix a while ago.

Here are a couple of Netflix offerings I would recommend:

"As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me" is available on Netflix. A true story of a German officer that escapes from a WW2 Siberian prison camp alone and walks across Siberia and the down to Central Asia. His journey home takes him three years and 8,000 miles.

There is a similar fictional movie that is based on a story that involves a number of escaped prisoners walking home from Siberia called "The Way Back".

It is also available for streaming at this time.

"The Way Back" is a 2010 epic drama film directed by Peter Weir, from a screenplay also by Weir and Keith Clarke. The film is inspired by The Long Walk (1955), a book by Sławomir Rawicz, a Polish POW in the Soviet Gulag. - wikipedia
