highly recommended

In the fall of 1979, one of history's most ingenious and courageous flights to freedom took place when two families fled from Communist East Germany to the West in their own handcrafted hot air balloon. Starring John Hurt (HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE), Jane Alexander (THE CIDER HOUSE RULES), and Beau Bridges, Walt Disney Pictures brings to the screen this remarkable true story of the Strelzyk and Wetzel families and their daring, death-defying escape.

A true story that never grows old

This movie ranks as one of my top favorites. It is so well done, that though I have seen it many times, the suspense still keeps me on the edge of my seat every time I view it. I watch it on a regular basis, each time inviting a family or friend who has never seen it to join me. It's a marvelous supplement to a homeschool history program. The movie provides a real sense of what living behind the iron curtain was like, and shows the high value of the quest for freedom.

Night Crossing

Night Crossing is one of my all time favorite movies. I used to show it to my 5th grade class every year to stimulate their appreciation of freedom. I was thrilled to be able to get a DVD version to replace my old VCR copy. Thank you so much.

Awesome movie - Must watch for those who doubt the value of freedom

What a power movie. For anyone who doubts the great and valuable freedom we have the USA, this is a must see. For me it is one of the stories which epitomizes why a democracy is worth every effort to protect.

A Family Favorite

We love this video of an escape from East Germany in a hot air balloon.

Two Famalies Escape East Germany by Balloon

Two families figure out how to escape Cold War East Germany by balloon. It's a recipe for drama but has its moments of humor also. The balloon flying at night and illuminated by its burner is beautiful. One of my favorite movies.
