Rescue Dawn (2007)

From legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog comes this incredible true story starring Christian Bale. Certain to join "The Thin Red Line" and "Full Metal Jacket" as one of the best war movies of the modern era, "Rescue Dawn" tells the story of a US fighter pilot who is shot down over Laos during the Vietnam war. His incredible story of survival is played beautifully and resolutely by Bale, while Herzog's perspective gives the film sublimity that can only be achieved by a master director.
