During World War II, seven American airmen were shot down and stranded on the island of Borneo. Surrounded by Japanese soldiers and natives wielding blowpipes and spears, they were in a desperate struggle for survival.

The situation seemed hopeless until British Major Tom Harrisson arrived with a daring plan to help them escape. Together they hatched a daring plot to outwit their pursuers, one of the most audacious escapes of the war.

The story of these brave men has been documented in the documentary “Hellbent on Borneo: The Island Escape” which offers an intimate look at their incredible journey. It features exclusive interviews with survivors, as well as footage from their daring mission.
