Movie #3643 ........................."Escape Net" (plane)

 Movie #3643"Escape Net" (plane)  This one's memory did no stay with me like the others, but I remember the story being an interesting one.  Basically, it's about a woman who plays on a basketball team with the major reason that she wants to ross the Iron Curtain to reunite with her beloved brother who is prisoner there.  I remember that she went through a lot to do this, and I thought it was a witty way to beat the system.  A nice historical film centered on a woman athlete (bur recently a new mother).  I would give it a 4, and if you don't mind all the subtitles, you might enjoy it.  I kept getting names and faces mixed up a bit, but the lead woman was really good.
