# Behind Enemy Lines (1986)

1986 · 90 min · Action, War · United States


## Synopsis

P.O.W. The Escape is a 1986 American war film directed by Gideon Amir and starring David Carradine, Charles Grant, Mako and Steve James. It is a loose re-imagining of the plot of Vera Cruz, transposing it from the Second Franco-Mexican War to the Vietnam War. In the story, a group of captive U.S. soldiers forge a pact with the commander of their North Vietnamese camp to help him defect to the West with his personal treasure, but the lure of quick gain soon tests their fragile alliance.
