Un banquier est assassiné et la police soupçonne son neveu Raoul, qui est condamné à dix ans de bagne. Or, le véritable assassin est Théo, le frère de Ginette, la compagne de Francis dit Chéri-Bibi, un forçat évadé. Théo est assommé par Chéri-Bibi qui, dénoncé par Ginette, prend la fuite. Repris par la police, il retrouve en prison ses fidèles complices, La Ficelle et Fric-Frac ; Raoul (que Chéri-Bibi ne connait pas) fait aussi partie des prisonniers. Sur le bateau qui les conduit au bagne, les prisonniers menés par Chéri-Bibi tentent en vain de s’évader. Finalement, grâce à la complicité de la femme du patron de l’exploitation forestière où ils sont affectés, Chéri-Bibi et Raoul – qui souhaitent tous deux se venger de Théo – parviennent à s’évader du bagne avec leurs compagnons, mais Chéri-Bibi est grièvement blessé par les gardiens lancés à leur poursuite.

Dieter Dengler, a German-born U.S. Navy pilot in squadron VA-145, is shot down in his A-1 Skyraider over Laos in February 1966, while on a combat mission. He survives the crash only to be pursued, and ultimately captured, by the Pathet Lao. Dengler is given the chance for leniency by the Province Governor if he signs a document condemning America, but he refuses. He is tortured and taken to a prison camp. There he meets fellow American military soldiers and pilots, such as Gene DeBruin and Duane W. Martin, along with Y.C., Procet, and Phisit, some of whom have been captive for years. Dengler begins planning an escape, much to the disbelief of his fellow combatants, who have been downtrodden through physical and psychological torture by the camp guards.
