Summary

On August 30, 1978, a couple from East Germany, with their child in tow, hijacked an airliner to a U.S. base in West Germany. What makes the story even more amazing (beside the fact that it's true) is that the man and woman used a toy gun to force the pilots to fly them to freedom. But now, the couple must stand trial in a complex, precedent-shattering case. Stars Carl Lumbly, Martin Sheen and Sean Penn. Directed by Penn's father, Leo.
