Christian Bale plays shot down Navy pilot Dieter Dengler who is captured by the Viet Cong in Laos/Vietnam. Dengler finds himself in a bad situation, but he shows courage and determination in his escape from captivity.
Rescue Dawn touches on big themes. The biggest one is in the prison camp. Dieter disagrees with a fellow prisoner who chooses passivity in dealing with the situation. Dieter will have none of it. Refusing to just sit and rot, Dieter plots and schemes and works to get himself out of the situation he is in.
This movie is a testament to the human spirit and what it means to be a man. It is even more powerful because it is a true story. All I can say is that if you are in some shit it is better to work and/or fight than lay down and die.
I was very glad to have watched this movie. I think you will be glad you watched it, too.
