Description

The incredible and gripping true story of one of the most spectacular and audacious escapes of the 20th Century! In the summer of 1979, following years careful of planning, two East German families attempt the impossible. In a makeshift hot-air balloon, the group risk their lives and fly the rickety craft towards West Germany with hopes of freedom and a better life. Unfortunately, the balloon crash-lands just before they reach the West German border and the Stasi soon discover evidence of the attempted escape. In a nerve-wracking race against the clock, the two families must now rush to build a new escape balloon before the notorious Stasi can catch them. Review As spellbinding, taut and poignant as The Lives of Others. It will make you stand up and cheer. --NYC Movie Guru Exists on the knife's edge of unremitting tension. --Los Angeles Times

Great true story but
Watched Night Crossing as a child and loved it. Truly amazing on how remarkable it is how what great lengths one will go to be free. Loved the movie just wish it wasn’t entirely in German. I know the story is in Germany (East Germany at the time). I just wish i didn’t have to read what they’re saying. ... show more
