RESCUE DAWN (2007)
SYNOPSIS
In the annals of history's great escapes there is no
other story like thatof Dieter Dengler, the only American
to ever break out of a POW camp in the
impenetrable Laotian jungle. After months plotting his
getaway from a harrowing prison and a death-defying
journey through some of the world's fiercest
wilderness, Dengler appeared at his first press
conference looking like a dashing movie star and
showing neither sentimentality nor bitterness
- simply an indomitable will to survive that allowed him
to triumph against impossible odds.
Now, from legendary director Werner Herzog ("Grizzly
Man," "Fitzcarraldo") and starring acclaimed actor
Christian Bale ("Batman Begins," "The Prestige")
comes the incredible true story of a man who, from the
depths of total darkness, blazed his own willful path to
freedom. A blistering action-adventure and a stark epic
of survival, RESCUE DAWN reveals how Dieter Dengler
relied on the most primal qualities of
evasion,endurance, tenacity and courage to find his
way home.--©Gibraltar Films
