Rescue Dawn

Acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog directs this action drama telling the true story of downed Vietnam pilot Dieter Dengler. Based on the director’s 1997 documentary ‘Little Dieter Needs to Fly’, the film follows Dengler (Christian Bale) as he fulfils his lifelong dream by making his way to the United States and joining the Air Force. Shot down over Vietnam and captured by the Vietcong, Dengler has to quickly adapt to the harsh brutality of his situation, biding his time until he can risk an escape attempt with his fellow POW’s.
