Herzog dramatised this story in Rescue Dawn. Interesting films to watch together.
Competent bio-pic of German-born American fighter pilot in Vietnam War but you should see 'Rescue Dawn' first.
classic herzog, but with the ecstatic truth set aside - thoroughly engaging from beginning to end
Interesting story and interesting how it is framed. You’ll fall in love with Dieter
A powerful and amazing story that you won't believe is true.
Herzog’s documentaries really shine when he finds a subject just as compelling as his own passion. This is one of those times.
I don’t like it
Truly incredible story
