Taken hostage, he endures unimaginable conditions 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.
