This Cold War-era Antony Ellis script is about two Polish men seeking to escape from behind the Iron Curtain. Their carefully planned escape during a trip to an industrial exhibition in Prague that includes hijacking a flight to Austria. They have been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time. There are many complications, including how to sneak the guns they need onto the flight. They recruit a like-minded Party member who would not be scrutinized before boarding to join them. They soon learn that there will be a security agent on board, but they do not know his identity. They make their flight, and begin their plan… but there is confusion on board, and shots are fired. The story is good, pay attention to the details and the names, and you will be rewarded with a surprise ending and the surprise identity for the agent.
