Wiki.
The Hanoi Hilton is a 1987 war film which focuses on the experiences of American prisoners of war who were held in the infamous Hoa Lo Prison in Hanoi during the 1960s and 1970s and the story is told from their perspectives. It was directed by Lionel Chetwynd, and stars Michael Moriarty, Ken Wright and Paul Le Mat. Music was done by Jimmy Webb.The film portrays fictional characters, not specific American POWs. It earned less than $1 million in its initial theatrical release, but a Warner Home Video VHS release gained a cult following, especially among veterans.A DVD release of the film had been anticipated for some time in 2008, with the package to include a new interview with former POW and 2008 presidential candidate John McCain. However, the film's release was suspended by Warner Bros. when he became the Republican Party nominee. The week following the 2008 United States presidential election, Warner Bros. went ahead with the DVD release.
