It's World War II, and you are Captain William J. "B.J." Blazkowitcz - the Allies' bad boy of espionage, a terminal action-seeker, built for abuse with an attitude to match. There's just one small problem: you've been captured by the Nazis, tortured, and imprisoned beneath the Castle Wolfenstein where you await execution. Bummer. Now, you must do anything to escape from the belly of a Nazi dungeon - or die trying. Hey, if you make it, you'll have something to tell your grandkids about . . . if you don't, at least you'll go out in a blaze of glory!
