Or Kroil.  Be sure to leave the spark plugs out while you try to turn it.

But don't be surprised if you are unhappy with the engine after it's freed
up.  If it's that stuck, likely a piston ring has rusted to the cylinder
wall.  Even if you don't break the ring getting it loose, the pits left
behind are apt to lead to oil consumption.

BTW, Home Depot seems to have started carrying PB Blaster as well as several
other products by the same company.
