Bat 21 is a thrilling war film based on a true story set during the Vietnam War. Lt. Col. Iceal Ham Hambleton, an expert in weapons countermeasures, finds himself stranded behind enemy lines after his aircraft is shot down. The Air Force urgently wants to rescue him, as he holds vital information that cannot fall into enemy hands.

In a desperate attempt to survive, he teams up with Capt. Bartholomew Clark, an Air Force reconnaissance pilot. Together, they devise an escape route based on the golf courses Hambleton has played, using his intimate knowledge of the terrain.
