52 days lost at sea in the South Pacific.
Escape from Tonga recounts the true story of California surfer Randy Dale, who in 1986 escaped a wrongful prison sentence on the remote island of Tonga by stealing a small fishing boat and sailing for Australia. His 52-day journey is a harrowing story of survival, battling starvation, dehydration, and isolation.
