The Escape, also known as Behind Enemy Lines, is a 1986 American action film directed by Gideon Amir and starring David Carradine.

Colonel Cooper (David Carradine) is a U.S. Airborne commando who comes to Vietnam with a special mission to liberate imprisoned American soldiers.

Action is set at the end of the war and he, as the highest-ranking officer in the POW camp, is to be sent to Hanoi and prosecuted by the North Vietnamese.

Given that threat Cooper reconsiders Vinh's offer, and accepts the deal, but under one condition - all of the camp prisoners must go with them.

Their journey won't be without obstacles as they need to go through zones controlled by The North Vietnamese, and through the jungle wilderness.
