The fancy footwork and star appeal of Gregory Hines as Raymond, an exiled American, and the powerful grace of Mikhail Baryshnikov as Nikolai, a defector, combine with a great production design to carry this otherwise thinly-stretched tale of intrigue. With a stellar supporting cast (Isabella Rossellini as Raymond's wife, Helen Mirren as Nikolai's lover, and Jerzy Skolimowski, the Polish director, as a wily KGB agent), the film has a few excellent moments. Nikolai has defected from the former USSR some time in the past. While on a trip, his plane spectacularly crashes on a runway in Siberia. Trapped in the country he had escaped, he is brought to stay with Raymond, an American who defected during the Vietnam war. Nikolai desperately wants to get out of the country, but the Russians have other plans. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This is a powerful movie to revisit now based on current immigration issues. What will people do to gain freedom? Yes, the dancing entertains the viewer, but I feel the screenplay portrayed realistic characters dealing with provocative issues that really make you think. What would you do in their situation?

Hadn't seen this since it was in theaters! Like always Misha is amazing. Gregory Hines was very talented in his own right. It was a lot better then I remembered. The younger generation doesn't know what the Soviet Union was like. This is a good way for them to see it.

Is this movie not on DVD....as that why you don't have it? I love this movie. Its cheesy...its stereotypical '80s cold war....but i love it!! Mikhail's dancing is amazing and Gregory Hines will blow you away. And what can you say about Isabella Rossellini except...she's beautiful and talented!!! Please get this on DVD!!!!!
