In the opening scene shows a World War II US Air Corps B-24 Liberator bomber flying somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. Then mechanical difficulties caused the plane to crash into. The only three to survive are Louie, Phil, and Mac.

The camp in Tokyo, where Louie is sent, is headed by Watanabe nicknamed the "Bird", who treats him very cruelly.

My opinion

I really like this movie, for me it’s one of the greatest movies.
The story of survival is very emotional, it’s about how to be strong and fight for life and freedom even if it’s hard to do.
It’s about anyone who becomes unbroken in any situation.
Luis is a real hero, he was very strong and brave person, his story is inspiring.
