Maybe it IS true but it sounds a lot like rather routine fiction to me because real life is seldom so tidy. Maybe the evacuation pilot, Danny Glover, really DID take off alone in a helicopter (in which he was not qualified), rescue Colonel Hambledon (Gene Hackman) single-handedly, successfully crash the helicopter he was not qualified in, and maybe the two of them then escape a horde of North Vietnamese pursuers during a "carpet bombing" of the whole area, with Glover sustaining one of those nasty but not unphotogenic shoulder wounds in the process. The story, as I understand it, is based on fact, but I don't know how much of it is factual. It would have been easy to turn a story like this into a cheap action flick - heroic downed USAF Colonel fights his way through enemy territory with help of heroic self-sacrificing black pilot.
