White Nights

Two men. Not soldiers. Not heroes. Just dancers. Willing to risk their lives for freedom-and each other.

After his plane crashes in Siberia, a Russian dancer, who defected to the West, is held prisoner in the Soviet Union. The KGB keeps him under watch and tries to convince him to become a dancer for the Kirov Academy of Ballet again. Determined to escape, he befriends a black American expatriate and his pregnant Russian wife, who agree to help him escape to the American Embassy.

An empty theater. Great seats, though.
