In the history of great escapes there is no story like that if Dieter Dengler, the only American to ever break out of a POW camp in the Laotian jungle.
Dieter Dengler (Bale) has dreamed of flying since he was a child, where he lived in wartime Germany, but on his very first, and top secret mission over Laos, he is shot down.
Trapped in an impassible jungle Deiter is soon captured and placed in a camp with fellow Americans who have been there for two years.
But Dengler has no intention of staying in the camp and he dreams up an escape plan.
With fellow prisoner Duane (Zahn) Dengler sets off into the jungle that tests them mentally and physically and becomes one of the most remarkable rescues in modern history.
Director Werner Herzog returns with his second picture on Dieter Dengler, a close friend, after his 1997 documentary Little Deiter Needs to Fly. This time he produces this gritty survival in drama form with Christian Bale at the helm.
