Summary

"As a young boy, Dieter Dengler watched as Allied planes destroyed his village. From that instant, he knew that he wanted to fly. So at 18, he moved to America, enlisted in the Navy, and was promptly shipped off to Vietnam. During one of his first missions, however, Dengler was shot down over Laos and taken prisoner. Despite torture and starvation--at one point he weighed 85 pounds--he escaped, and after a harrowing journey through the jungle on foot, returned home. however, even comfort and success never dispelled the demons of his past. In this ... documentary, director Werner Herzog returns to the jungle with Dengler"--Container. Includes a postscript of his funeral at Arlington National Cemetery in 2001
