Christian Bale's 19-Year-Old War Movie With 90% on Rotten Tomatoes Lands on Prime Video
Rescue Dawn was a dramatized adaptation of Little Dieter Needs to Fly, Werner Herzog's 1997 documentary. Both films depicted one prisoner of war's harrowing experience after being caught behind enemy territory.
Prime Video is now streaming Rescue Dawn, Werner Herzog's 2006 epic war drama. Based on the true story of German-American pilot Dieter Dengler (played by Christian Bale), the film depicted Dengler's ordeal after being captured in Laos during the Vietnam War. Herzog previously recounted Dengler's story in Little Dieter Needs to Fly, which detailed the suffering Dengler's fellow prisoners endured, including torture. These were depicted in Rescue Dawn but toned down for a PG rating. The sequences were shot in reverse order over 44 days, so Bale and his co-stars can gradually gain weight during filming.
