Flight #387 from Budapest

Overview

Docudrama of a small group of Hungarians escaping to West Germany. Polyak gathers people who wish to flee and, after great difficulty, arranges for a gun. They board a flight to a city near the border and plan to commandeer the plane. The man with their gun does not show up and they are not sure if they should proceed. They decide to go ahead and have to subdue a security officer. They fly on an almost empty tank and arrive safely in West Germany.
