Short description

Lt. Col. Iceal "Ham" Hambleton is a weapons countermeasures expert and when his aircraft is shot over enemy territory the Air Force very much wants to get him back. Hambleton knows the area he's in is going to be carpet-bombed but a temporary shortage of helicopters causes a delay. Working with an Air Force reconnaissance pilot, Capt. Bartholomew Clark, he maps out an escape route.

What's left behind the scenes

A film adaptation of William S. Anderson's work.
The film is based on real events that took place in 1972. Bat-21 was the call sign of a downed aircraft, of which only Lieutenant Colonel Iceal Hambleton survived, whose role in the film is played by Gene Hackman.
Filming took place in Sabah, Malaysia.
