The Incredible Journey Of Vietnam POW Survivor Deiter Dengler Arrives On DVD November 20 From MGM Home Entertainment DVD Features Commentary by Director Werner Herzog With Tons of Featurettes, Deleted Scenes And More

“Deiter Dengler embodied everything I love about America: courage, perseverance, optimism, self-reliance, frontier spirit, loyalty and joy of life. He was the quintessential immigrant into America a young man who arrived with a great dream and came to represent the best of the American spirit.” – Werner Herzog, Director, Rescue Dawn

LOS ANGELES, CA Based on the true story of a courageous Vietnam prisoner of war (POW), the critically-acclaimed film that Newsday (Jan Stuart) calls “gripping” and The New York Times (Matt Zoller Seitz) hails as a “marvel”, Rescue Dawn escapes onto DVD November 20, 2007, from MGM Home Entertainment. Written and directed by internationally acclaimed director Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, Fitzcarraldo) and adapted from his Emmy-nominated documentary, Little Dieter Needs To Fly, Rescue Dawn stars Christian Bale (Batman Begins, American Psycho) as real-life United States Navy pilot and Vietnam War survivor Dieter Dengler in a performance USA Today (Scott Bowels) calls “mesmerizing” and what Variety (Leslie Felperin) says is “a socko, kido-worthy lead performance.”

Featuring “outstanding” (MAXIM) performances by Steve Zahn (Sahara, Riding In Cars With Boys) and Jeremy Davies (Dogville, Solaris), Rescue Dawn marks the first truly American film from Herzog and is “an exciting edge-of-your-seat escape movie” (Newsweek, David Ansen) that explores the darkest hours of human peril, but leaves you with an uplifting message about triumph over adversity and the true meaning of duty, honor and courage.

Rescue Dawn will be available on DVD in widescreen format with English Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish and French Dolby Surround and English and Spanish Subtitles and features commentary by director Werner Herzog and interviewer Norman Hill, three deleted scenes, featurettes and more. The Rescue Dawn DVD will retail for $29.98 U.S./$43.48 Canada. Pre-book is October 24.
