Schanberg takes a cab to his hotel where he meets up with photographer <a href="/wiki/Al_Rockoff" title="Al Rockoff">Al Rockoff</a>. Pran meets Schanberg later and tells him that an <a href="/wiki/B-52_Stratofortress" class="mw-redirect" title="B-52 Stratofortress">American B-52</a> has allegedly bombed <a href="/wiki/Neak_Leung" class="mw-redirect" title="Neak Leung">Neak Leung</a>. After Schanberg and Pran go to the town and confirm the allegation, they are arrested when they try to photograph the execution of two Khmer Rouge operatives. They are eventually released and Schanberg is furious when the international press corps arrives with the U.S. Army. </p><p>Two years later, in 1975, the Phnom Penh <a href="/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Pull" title="Operation Eagle Pull">embassies are evacuated</a> in anticipation of the Khmer Rouge's arrival. Schanberg secures evacuation for Pran's family, but Pran insists on staying behind to help Schanberg. The Khmer Rouge <a href="/wiki/Fall_of_Phnom_Penh" title="Fall of Phnom Penh">move into the capital</a>, ostensibly in peace. During a parade through the city, Schanberg and Rockoff are met by a detachment of the Khmer Rouge, who immediately arrest them. The group is taken to a back alley where prisoners are being held and executed. Pran, unharmed because he is a Cambodian civilian, negotiates to spare his friends' lives, and the group retreats to the French embassy. The Khmer Rouge orders all Cambodian citizens in the embassy to be handed over, to which the fearful ambassador complies. Knowing that Pran will be imprisoned or killed, Rockoff and fellow photographer <a href="/wiki/Jon_Swain" title="Jon Swain">Jon Swain</a> try to forge a British passport for Pran, but the deception fails when Pran's image on the passport photo disappears, as they lack adequate <a href="/wiki/Photographic_fixer" title="Photographic fixer">photographic fixer</a>. Pran is turned over to the Khmer Rouge and forced to live under their totalitarian regime. </p><p>Several months after returning to <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>, Schanberg launches a personal campaign to locate Pran; he writes letters to several charities and maintains close contact with Pran's family in San Francisco. In Cambodia, Pran has become a forced labourer under the Khmer Rouge's "<a href="/wiki/Year_Zero_(political_notion)" title="Year Zero (political notion)">Year Zero</a>" policy, a return to the <a href="/wiki/Agrarianism" title="Agrarianism">agrarian</a> ways of the past. Pran is also forced to attend <a href="/wiki/Propaganda" title="Propaganda">propagandist</a> classes where many undergo <a href="/wiki/Political_indoctrination" class="mw-redirect" title="Political indoctrination">re-education</a>. As <a href="/wiki/Intellectual" title="Intellectual">intellectuals</a> are <a href="/wiki/Forced_disappearance" class="mw-redirect" title="Forced disappearance">made to disappear</a>, Pran feigns simple-mindedness. Eventually, he escapes and stumbles upon one of the <a href="/wiki/Pol_Pot" title="Pol Pot">Pol Pot</a> regime's <a href="/wiki/Killing_Fields" title="Killing Fields">Killing Fields</a> before he is found unconscious on the riverside and taken in by a different cadre of Khmer Rouge. In 1976, Schanberg is awarded the fictional AIFPC journalism award (a stand-in for the real Schanberg’s <a href="/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize" title="Pulitzer Prize">Pulitzer Prize</a>) for his coverage of the Cambodian conflict, and he tells the audience that half the recognition for the award belongs to Pran. Rockoff confronts Schanberg and harshly accuses him of not doing enough to locate Pran and for using his friend to win the award. Although Schanberg initially defends his efforts, he ultimately admits that Pran stayed because of what Schanberg wanted. </p><p>Pran is shown living in a Khmer Rouge-held village led by a man named Phat, where he does household chores and tends to Phat's young son. Phat makes several attempts to test Pran’s understanding of French and English, but Pran continues to hide his education, claiming to have been a taxi driver before the revolution. This ruse continues until Phat catches him at night listening to an English language radio broadcast. However, rather than punishing him, Phat confides in Pran about his distrust of the Khmer Rouge leadership, and asks him to take ward of his son in the event that he is killed. During the Khmer Rouge's <a href="/wiki/Cambodian%E2%80%93Vietnamese_War" title="Cambodian–Vietnamese War">border war with Vietnam</a>, Pran discovers that Phat's son has American money and a map leading to safety. When Phat tries to stop the younger Khmer Rouge officers from killing several of his comrades, he is ignominiously shot. In the confusion, Pran escapes with four of Phat’s comrades and they begin a long trek through the jungle with Phat's son. The group later splits and three of them head in a different direction; Pran continues following the map with the fourth man. However, Pran's companion activates a hidden <a href="/wiki/Land_mine" title="Land mine">land mine</a> while holding the boy. As Pran pleads with the man to give him the boy, the mine goes off, killing the pair. Pran continues through the jungle alone until he eventually finds a <a href="/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement" title="International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement">Red Cross</a> refugee camp near the border of <a href="/wiki/Thailand" title="Thailand">Thailand</a>. In the United States, Schanberg learns that Pran is alive and safe, and reunites with Pran at the Red Cross camp. Pran assures Schanberg of his forgiveness as the two embrace. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Killing_Fields_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Sam_Waterston" title="Sam Waterston">Sam Waterston</a> as <a href="/wiki/Sydney_Schanberg" title="Sydney Schanberg">Sydney Schanberg</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Haing_S._Ngor" title="Haing S.

He gave me Bruce Robinson's script, which was enormous, but it was so full of passion and energy I couldn't put it down. I'd heard about Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge, but didn't know much until I read it. I wrote to David saying that whoever made the film would have to be careful because it wasn't just a war story: it was about human connection, how friendships are born and what they do to us. I didn't hear from him for six months, then we bumped into one another and he said he'd interviewed most of the directors in the world – including some very big names who would make the studios happy – but no one had really understood it. "You're the only man who has," he said.<sup id="cite_ref-auto_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>In the same interview actor <a href="/wiki/Julian_Sands" title="Julian Sands">Julian Sands</a> said: </p> <blockquote><p>Roland's audition process was extraordinary. I was 24 and I've never come across anything as rigorous since. He was looking to put together a troupe of actors without much film experience, because he wanted the freshness of everything to resonate with us. He would gather lots of us in his office to improvise scenes. After about a month, he had a group he found interesting. John Malkovich, Sam Waterston and Haing S. Ngor weren't subject to that, but their meetings with him were still pretty intense. A lot was made of the fact that Haing hadn't acted before, but John put it differently: he said Haing had been acting his whole life – you had to be a pretty good actor to survive the Khmer Rouge.<sup id="cite_ref-auto_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>Puttnam recalled <a href="/wiki/Yoko_Ono" title="Yoko Ono">Yoko Ono</a>'s reaction to the use of <a href="/wiki/John_Lennon" title="John Lennon">John Lennon</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Imagine_(song)" title="Imagine (song)">Imagine</a> in the film: "“The film ended, and she was in pieces.
