ComingSoon.net has your exclusive first look at a new clip from writer/director Werner Herzog’s Rescue Dawn, opening July 4 and starring Christian Bale (Batman Begins) and Steve Zahn.
In the annals of history’s great escapes there is no other story like that of Dieter Dengler (Bale), 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.
