If you're looking for a real-life adventure story, look no further.
Near the end of World War II a group of Army personnel was flying over a remote valley on the island of New Guinea when the plane crashed into the mountainous jungle. The few survivors knew that their only hope was to reach high ground and signal to a rescue plane, assuming the rescue planes would know where to look.
Not only were they gravely injured from the crash landing, but they feared cannibalism and head-hunters, because most of the native people in this area had never encountered outsiders. Not knowing what to expect, they set out into the lush jungle, trying to survive against the odds.
