Member Rating:  
As helmed by Josh Baxter, this documentary relays the unique and harrowing story of Charles 'Sully' O'Sullivan, an ace fighter pilot shot down in the jungles of New Guinea during World War II. O'Sullivan drew on basic survival skills that enabled him to last for over 30 days in the wilderness. In the process, he encountered a vicious tribe of cannibals intent on eating him, but somehow managed to escape from their territory (evading his pursuers) and arrived at a friendly Australian outpost. From there, O'Sullivan returned to the U.S. in one piece. But decades later, questions lingered about the soldier's journey, particularly after the remnants of his plane turned up in New Guinea, and he found that his arrival in the tribe had grown into a local legend among the natives. He began to consider returning to the site of the crash, but grew concerned that the tribesmen might put his life in danger once again. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    You won't believe it until you see it. It's amazing what Col. O'Sullivan was able to survive. And the clarity with which he retells his story is fascinating. The re-enactments are realistic, and put you right in the action. I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys history, or a unique story.

    My wife and I watched this movie and loved it! The story itself was amazing and the crew did a great job of capturing and portraying O'Sullivan's story. My favorite part was seeing "behind the scenes" interviews with O'Sullivan as he relives some of his experiences in quite a comical way.

    Fascinating story, very well told as straight non-fiction. Excellent special features. This film is more like a History Channel or PBS documentary rather than a big-budget theatrical release with A-List celebrity actors. I'd almost hate to see this great story converted to a theatrical release because of all the Hollywood-izing they'd have to do to generate buzz and sell tickets.
