Synopsis of “RESCUE DAWN”:

Dir. Werner Herzog, USA, 126 min., Rated PG-13

In the history of great escapes there is no other story like that of Dieter Dengler, the only American to ever break out of a POW camp in the impenetrable Laotian jungle during the Vietnam War. After months plotting his getaway, Dengler escaped and survived the death-defying wilderness. This journey demonstrated to the world Dengler’s indomitable will to survive and the strength of the human spirit to triumph against the most 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 brotherhood to find his way home.
