In February 1966, while on a combat mission, Lt. Dieter Dengler, a German-born United States Navy pilot in squadron VA-145 (U.S. Navy), flying from the carrier USS Ranger (CV-61), is shot down in his Douglas A-1 Skyraider over Laos. He survives the crash, only to be captured by the Pathet Lao. Dengler is offered leniency by the province governor, if he will sign a document condemning America, but he refuses. Dengler is tortured and taken to a prison camp. There he meets his fellow prisoners: American pilots Eugene DeBruin and Duane W. Martin, Y.C., Procet and Phisit, some of whom have been captives for years.
