Description by OLDIES.com:
This television movie is based on a true story of Lithuanian seaman Simas Kudirka (Alan Arkin), a demoralized man surviving under Soviet oppression during the 1970s. In a death-defying leap onto an American Naval ship Kudirka announces that he is seeking asylum, but the laws of the times are enforced which quickly sets Kudirka back into a dark place emotionally and literally when he is recaptured by the Soviets.
