Details

• Release Year: 2000
• Genre: Documentary
• Plot: Return with Honor tells the compelling story of American fighter pilots shot down over North Vietnam and their dramatic transformation from self-confident Top Gun type aviators to prisoners-of-war. Weaving powerful interviews with the airmen and their wives with never-before-seen footage from Vietnam's government archives, the film provides a profoundly moving account of how these men survived repeated bouts of excruciating torture, long periods of solitary confinement and harrowing loneliness. In chronicling their determination to return home with honor and dignity, the film is a testament to their sacrifice, resilience and courage.
