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.
