Description In the summer of 1979, in Thüringen, in East Germany, two families put together a crazy plan. They are desperate to leave the DDR for the 'West' and plan to flee in a homemade hot air balloon. After sewing and tinkering for weeks, the amateurs make their first attempt. Meters from the West German border, their balloon suffers from the rain and crash lands. Luckily, they manage to avoid being caught by the police. However, the wreckage from their escape attempt is found and that triggers a desperate manhunt. The tension rises as the families determine to try again, and a race against time ensues. On the one hand, the authorities, desperate to track down the traitors, become aware that a second attempt is being planned. On the other, the would-be escapees, conscious of the search drawing ever nearer, need to build a more robust, weatherproof balloon - and avoid leaving too many clues.

In a country where "honour" is not respected and the national hero is not revered, the subject of this film comes as a pleasant surprise. In a time where "honour" has become a commodity, it is refreshing to see a film which shows the significance of honour in a way that is so appropriate. The role of John Milton in the movie is a great one for the actor of choice to play him. He was not the main actor, but his scenes were most well-cast, as well as the love story between Sir William and Elizabeth. I had read that this movie was based on the book, "Milton, the Boy-Chaser" by Tom Cook, but I can not vouch for this. The book is a wonderful and fascinating tale of a boy who works for Sir William to try and prove his worth as a writer. The movie is a true pleasure, and I recommend it to anyone.

Not since the early 60's or 70's has there been a better crime film. For the first time in my life I was a fan of the French New Wave and this film had everything I was looking for. I loved the whole look and feel of the film and the fact that the film was made by a French person who is not afraid to break new ground and has more in common with the director of the film than he does with the actors in the film. There is a reason why films like this are so popular and that reason is the fact that French New Wave was and still is a groundbreaking work of cinema. Don't get me wrong, I am no film buff. I am only a fan of films that break new ground and I am thankful to be able to watch this film on a rainy day. I can see this film on a rainy day with no other purpose but to watch it and enjoy it. The music, the cinematography, the acting, the story and the cinematography all speak to me and I can watch this film again and again. The fact that this film is a true story makes it even more special. A true story that has been told many times and a true story that still has some truth. I am not here to criticize this film or its director, but to praise it.

If you love cinema you must see this movie. There is so much to it that you can watch it again and again. I am sorry that there is not more publicity about this movie. It was the most important movie of 2008. It was so original. It was a surprise to me. And I was very impressed with the whole cast. It's a real shame that it was not nominated for any Oscars. The actors and the director did a fantastic job. It is one of the best movies of 2008. And I hope that the movie will get an Oscar. That is why I write this review.

Great movies that won't go down in history like THE BEST MAN or THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. but the history books will give the film a bad rap, I think. It will go down in history as a great movie, a very well made movie. This movie tells the story of the history of the world in its infancy, and it shows how the most powerful men in the world were affected by the bad guys. The movie doesn't show a lot of graphic violence, but it is still graphic. I was surprised at how violent it was. It was at least as violent as the SHERIFF OF BOSTON. It shows the importance of the loyalty of the military to the government and the power that the military can have over the government. This movie is really an eye opener on the importance of the military, and how powerful they are. The military and the government can be very powerful, and the military will decide who can become the President of the United States. There is a very big difference between being loyal to the government, and being loyal to the military. The movie shows the relationship between the main character, Colonel Dyer, and his military superior, Colonel Brock. Dyer is the man who controls the military and decides who can be a President, and he is the man who controls who can become a Marine. Brock has been with the military since he was young and understands what it takes to be a Marine. Brock does not really understand the military, and he is more interested in politics than in fighting for the country. This is a movie that shows how important the military is in America, and the importance of loyalty. It shows the effects of a political change on a military that is used to thinking for itself. It shows how important loyalty is to the military, and how important it is to the country. The movie is very well done, and it is an eye opener on the importance of loyalty. It shows how important the military is to the country. This movie is well worth watching.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It was very exciting. The story is very important and important for us to know about our government and the news media. I would recommend this movie to everyone. I think it's good that there are a lot of young people in the world that know about these issues. We should all know that the government is controlled by the people and the media.
