...Quite entertaining....When [the balloon takes] off, the story does too...
New York Times
With a childish plot, the film doesn't manage to interest the public. [Full Review in Spanish]

Night Crossing proves that a family united in a common project can accomplish near impossible things.

Product Description:
This story of two East German families who launch an escape to the free world by using a hot-air balloon was based on an actual incident. Tired of the Cold War rules that restricted their lives, two families built their own balloon as an escape vehicle to the West. This uplifting tale inspires with its mix of human determination & heroism in the face of oppression.
Description by Buena Vista Home Entertainment.:
Night Crossing
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.
