Synopsis

Based on the true story of an American pilot, Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale) is shot down during a top secret mission to destroy Viet Cong strongholds in Laos at the beginning of the Vietnam War. Taken hostage, he endures unimaginable conditions... See more at the hands of cruel captors in a makeshift POW camp. Dengler’s iron will to survive guides him and fellow prisoners in a meticulously-planned, death-defying escape, only to discover the harsh realities of an unforgiving jungle beyond the camp’s walls. Steve Zahn and Jeremy Davies co-star in this unforgettable story of one man’s determination and unrelenting pursuit of freedom.
