Rescue Dawn is the incredible true story of Dieter Dengler, a US pilot shot down flying a top-secret mission over Laos. Captured by the notoriously ruthless Pathet Lao soldiers, Dengler is taken to a P.O.W. camp whose barely sane inmates have lost all hope of survival. But something inside Dieter refuses to give up and he plans to execute a last-gasp bid for freedom through the dangerous jungles of South East Asia.
Critically acclaimed, Rescue Dawn is one of the most remarkable adventures in modern history with a heart-stopping and gripping climax. - 2006 Top Gun Productions, LLC.

I suppose, based on the actors and performances, it could have been good. But the direction was awful and the film just came across as strange and almost a comedy; think Tropic Thunder!

a completely absorbing film, top-class acting, wholly believable, made better because it's a true story - camera work is superb and the music always appropriate and adding to the experience. Not over the top like Deer Hunter or Apocalypse Now - this felt authentic - just great.
