This is one of those war movies where a guy - in this case a pilot played by Christian Bale - is shot down behind enemy lines. He gets captured and eventually deposited in a horrifying prisoner of war camp. He tries to survive physically and mentally.
I would not recommend this movie. I heard it was underrated, so I put it in my queue. If you want to watch close ups of guys eating larvae and worse, this is a good selection. If you want a war movie with spark, I don't think this is it. It's based on a real person's experience, but it was not well transferred to film. I found the music really annoying and much of the film dull.
Behind Enemy Lines stars Gene Hackman and Owen Wilson in a story about a navigator shot down in enemy territory. It's a much better movie - try that one instead.
