In 1945, a British prison camp located in Thailand had to be evacuated to Japan when American forces bombed a bridge over the River Kwai, which upset the situation. During the attack, several American planes are shot down and one of the pilots, Lieutenant Crawford, is captured by the camp leader, the cruel Lieutenant Tanaka. Major Harada has the prisoners evacuated to Saigon, where they will be loaded aboard a freighter. The latter begin a long journey strewn with pitfalls where escape is their only hope of survival...
