Bat*21 is a 1988 movie directed by Peter Markle, and adapted from the book by William Charles Anderson.[1] Set during the Vietnam War, the film is based on the true, costly, and controversial rescue of a U.S. navigator officer whose Douglas EB-66 electronics aircraft is hit by a SAM.
The film stars Gene Hackman as Lt. Colonel Iceal E. "Gene" Hambleton, the downed navigator (EWO) officer, and Danny Glover as Captain Bartholomew Clark, a FAC pilot who flies a Cessna Skymaster. The film is based on the real-life rescue of Lt. Col. Hambleton by U.S. Navy SEAL Thomas R. Norris and team member Nguyen Van Kiet, a South Vietnamese SEAL.
Executive producer David Andrew Fisher was also the director of "Toy Soldiers" (1984) and of "Liar's Moon" (1982).
Tagline: Trapped behind enemy lines. A whole army after him... And only one man can save him.
Bat*21 was filmed in Sabah, Malaysia.
