In 1963, lieutenant James N. Rowe was captured by the Vietcong. There, he ended up spending five years in prison before escaping and regaining his freedom. While being held prisoner, Rowe had to struggle against illness, brutal treatment, malnutrition, and isolation. He has to watch as his friends die one by one, and as his country turns against his cause and seemingly forgets him. All the while, he must resist attempts by the guards to convert him to their cause or to use him for propaganda purposes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Being in constant contact with the Vietcong, Rowe is able to understand how they think and what they fight for. He also is able to see fully how the war and the behavior of the Vietcong effected the civilians.In the end, he gets transferred to a camp where he will surly be executed. Fortunately however, he has a chance to escape while being transported. He is able to get away from his guards and flag down a US helicopter. They land, and rescue him. | |
