A sensational documentary about the little known, 1983 escape by airplane from behind the Iron Curtain to the Tempelhof airport in West Berlin. This daring feat was carried out by Leszek Piłat, a student from Lublin. He was the youngest of 16 pilots who escaped from communist Poland. In the film you can see the unique images of the landing and the arrest of the escapees by American soldiers.
