Editorial Review:
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.
Night Crossing Reviews:
good movie 
2009-09-19 - The movie was exactly what I expected since I had seen it when I was younger. It's a good story and the actual balloon is on display at the Check Point Charley museum. I don't remember who actually shipped the item to me but it took over a month for me to receive the movie.

Two Famalies Escape East Germany by Balloon
2008-09-16 - 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.
Night Crossing 
2008-07-23 - 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.
A Family Favorite
2008-02-10 - We love this video of an escape from East Germany in a hot air balloon.
