Bat★21 (1988)

In the throes of the Vietnam War, a U.S. observation plane succumbs to the fury of a missile attack, leaving only one survivor among its crew - Lieutenant Colonel Iceal "Ham" Hambleton, a master in missile weaponry. Stranded in enemy territory, Hambleton's survival becomes a matter of national security, as his irreplaceable knowledge is a treasure the Air Force cannot afford to lose to the Vietcong. As Hambleton grapples with the cruel reality of warfare, he realizes the area he's trapped in is destined for carpet bombing. Yet, a shortage of helicopters thwarts immediate rescue, leaving him to navigate the hostile terrain alone. The enemy's ears tuned into his every radio transmission, making his survival a deadly game of cat and mouse. In this high-stakes chase, an unlikely partnership is formed. Teaming up with the resourceful Air Force reconnaissance pilot, Capt. Bartholomew Clark, Hambleton charts an escape route inspired by an unlikely source: the golf courses he's played. This unique survival strategy becomes their beacon of hope, guiding them through a blood-stained battlefield studded with enemy forces and the ghostly echoes of fallen comrades. The narrative of 'Bat★21' weaves a gripping tale of survival, camaraderie, and the indomitable human spirit, set against the backdrop of a war that tests the mettle of even the bravest heroes. However, the war is far from over, and the journey home is fraught with heart-stopping danger at every turn.
