On October 29, 1963 Special Forces officer James Rowe was captured after a firefight. He would spend over five years living in a bamboo cage, until fortune smiled on him, and he made his daring escape on December 31, 1968. His experiences saw him create the military SERE School (Survive, Escape, Resist, Evade). His amazing story was published as his autobiography, Five Years to Freedom, and we plan on bringing his story to the screen.

Brig. Gen. Robin Olds was born into a military tradition. His father was a pilot, Maj. Gen. Robert Olds, who was responsible for developing the B-17 Flying Fortress, who was also aide to Gen. Billy Mitchell. Legendary bomber commander Gen. Curtis E. LeMay was a protege of Robert Olds. His son Robin grew up in the lofty atmosphere of heroes always being around and he learned much from them.
