In the annals of history's
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. After months
plotting his getaway from a
harrowing prison and a
death-defying journey through
some of the world's fiercest
wilderness, Dengler appeared
at his first press conference
looking like a dashing movie
star and showing neither
sentimentality nor bitterness
- simply an indomitable will
to survive that allowed him to
triumph against 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
courage to find his way home.
