[2] A DVD release of the film had been anticipated for some time in 2008, with the package to include a new interview with former POW and 2008 presidential candidate John McCain.

[4] The film opens to LCDR Patrick Michael Williamson being interviewed by a journalist aboard an aircraft carrier, discussing the current conflict in Vietnam.

As the opening credits roll, the film pivots to Williamson’s aircraft, along with his squadron, launching from the carrier on an air raid over North Vietnam.

Ngo Doc is disappointed in Williamson’s refusal to provide any information beyond his name, rank and service number, and abruptly has him taken away for an extended period of isolation.

The film gradually introduces other officers who become prisoners of the camp, and the inhumane conditions they are faced with when they refuse to bend to the will of their captors.

On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 32 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
