If you loved Queen of the Desert, try Rescue Dawn

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Werner Herzog, and they sit in Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Queen of the Desert, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Rescue Dawn is

Laos jungle, monsoon season, a downed plane smolders. A pilot emerges, disoriented, survival instincts kick in, the dense foliage closes in. Herzog renders war as a primal test of human endurance.
