Night Crossing
Night Crossing tells the incredible true-life story of two intrepid East German families who hatch a plan (during the Cold War, of course) to escape and head west by using hot-air balloons. Starring John Hurt, Jane Alexander, Beau Bridges and Glynnis O'Connor, this family drama is an inspiring tale of the extraordinary lengths oppressed people will go to find freedom.

EXCELLENT TRUE STORY! - Whirlwind
John Hurt, Jane Alexander and Beau Bridges give good performances playing 2 families leaving east Germany in a hot air balloon. For the original families, this must have been quite the event as failing meant imprisonment or possibly death. The idea of seeking freedom has been an agelong goal of various people, so, too, with this family, the drive to "get out" propelled them all to reach for this "thread of hope" and pursue it. Good story, family story, it's a Disney film. The very young won't understand it but the young teenager will. Perhaps it will help us to appreciate our own circumstances a little better.
