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.

July 18, 2007, 7 pm Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar "This is a tough movie-going experience with a couple of bizarre twists at the end. It's also a film you won't soon forget." "This polished, cleanly made pic still packs a wrenching emotional punch and, if backed by critics and auds, could earn more for Herzog than his last 10 features put together."
