Rescue Dawn

Rescue Dawn about an American pilot on a secret mission in Laos at the start of the Vietnam War. He crashes. Is captured. Is tortured and sent to a POW camp. Eventually he and another POW escape. They have a very harrowing treck through the jungle but are eventually rescued.

I enjoyed this move. Parts of it were beautifully shot-- the opening is a spectacular slow motion scene of a bombing in Vietnam. The acting is also solid.
