Rescue Dawn is the incredible true story of Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale), a U.S. 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.

Rescue Dawn is a real shame: a full-on transformed for Hollywood true story that's far better depicted in a separate documentary. Christian Bale is as one-dimensional as ever as he portrays the pilot that was shot down, along with some quite farcical acting from the rest of the cast. The budget has laid the ground for a very slick film with a believable backdrop, but the acting - and therefore direction - is truly appalling. This film could have been so much better simply by changing the main cast members. Avoid at almost all costs, unless you're obsessed with the Vietnam War.
