Le Tigre (1990) plot summary   The year is 1954. In the last days of the French colonization of Viet Nam, three soldiers face defeat in battle, a terrifying escape, and an incredible adventure. LE TIGRE tells the story of Alain, a young recruit, Max, an American Intelligence Officer, and Crion, a French captain. Captured by the Vietnamese after the fall of Dien Bien Phu, they are forced on a 500-mile death march. Against all odds, they escape into the jungle, and begin a battle for survival. Their journey takes them to a village where they will encounter a different kind of danger. When a man-eating tiger attacks, the villagers believe the war is bringing death to them. They convince the three strangers that it is their responsibility to kill the tiger. And so the hunt begins... combining unparalleled action, fascinating characters, and a strange and moving love story, LE TIGRE is a motion picture of primal force and adventure like none ever experienced before. director/cast   Andrzej Zulawski Director Dolph Lundgren genre Adventure production co(s) Abba Entertainment Corp. producers Jerry Kutner / Alain Jakubowicz / John Rodsett / Joseph Poma writer Peter Cohn locations Thaïland or Philipines news & updates   Written by Peter Cohn.
