In 1965, while bombing Laos in a classified mission, the plane of the
German-American pilot Dieter Dengler is hit and crashes in the jungle.
Dieter is arrested by the peasants, tortured and sent to a prisoner camp,
where he meets five other mentally ill prisoners. He becomes close to Duane
and organizes an escape plan; however, the unstable Gene opposes to
Dieter's plan. When they discover that there is no more food due to the
constant American bombings in the area and their guards intend to kill
them, Dieter sets his plan in motion. However, an unexpected betrayal split
the group and Dieter and Duane find that the jungle is their actual prison.
This film tells the real-life story of U.S. fighter pilot Dieter Dengler, a
German-American shot down and captured in Laos during the Vietnam War.
Dengler organized a death-defying escape for a small band of POWs,
including Duane Martin.
