Night Crossing is a 1982 British-American drama film starring John Hurt, Jane Alexander and Beau Bridges.
Scannán drámaíochta 1982 ón mBreatain-Mheiriceánach is ea Night Crossing le John Hurt, Jane Alexander agus Beau Bridges.
The film opens with a brief summary of 1961s then-current conditions in East Germany and nature of the border zone, featuring stock footage such as Conrad Schumanns jump over barbed wire in Berlin as the Berlin Wall is being built.
Osclaítear an scannán le hachoimre ghairid ar dhálaí reatha 1961 in Oirthear na Gearmáine agus nádúr an chrios teorann, le píosaí scannáin ar nós léim Conrad Schumann thar sreang deilgneach i mBeirlín agus Balla Bheirlín á thógáil.
In April 1978, in the small town of Pößneck, Thuringia, a teenager, Lukas Keller, attempts to escape East Germany by riding a bulldozer through the Inner German Border Zone.
I mí Aibreáin 1978, i mbaile beag Pößneck, déanann Thuringia, déagóir, Lukas Keller, iarracht éalú ó Oirthear na Gearmáine trí ollscartaire a mharcaíocht trí Chrios Teorann Istigh na Gearmáine.
However, he is shot by automatic machine guns and left for dead by the guards; his family is informed while having a picnic with their friends, the Strelzyks and the Wetzels, and the entire Keller family are taken away by the police.
Lámhaíonn gunnaí meaisín uathoibríocha é, áfach, agus fágann na gardaí é marbh; cuirtear a theaghlach ar an eolas agus iad ag picnic lena gcairde, na Strelzyks agus na Wetzels, agus tógann na póilíní teaghlach Keller ar fad.
Finally fed up with his life under the GDR regime, Peter Strelzyk proposes a daring plan to his friend Günter Wetzel: they will build a balloon to carry themselves and their families (eight people total) over the border to West Germany.
Faoi dheireadh bréan dá shaol faoi réimeas GDR, molann Peter Strelzyk plean dána dá chara Günter Wetzel: tógfaidh siad balún chun iad féin agus a dteaghlaigh (ochtar san iomlán) a iompar thar an teorainn go hIarthar na Gearmáine.
They purchase 1,255 square yards of taffeta (claiming it is for a camping club); Günter sews the fabric together with a sewing machine in his attic and Peter experiments for months to construct a hot air balloon burner.
Ceannaíonn siad 1,255 slat cearnach de taffeta (ag maíomh gur le haghaidh club campála é); Déanann Günter an fhabraic a shéaladh mar aon le meaisín fuála ina áiléar agus déanann Peter turgnaimh ar feadh míonna chun dóire balún aer te a thógáil.
Of course, they face setbacks: fires while trying to inflate the balloon, struggles to build a burner with sufficient power, extremely suspicious neighbors, and doubts about the plans workability from Günters wife, Petra.
Ar ndóigh, bíonn deacrachtaí acu: tinte agus iad ag iarraidh an balún a insileadh, bíonn sé ag streachailt dóire a thógáil le cumhacht leordhóthanach, comharsana an-amhrasacha, agus amhras faoi inoibritheacht an phlean ó bhean chéile Günter, Petra.
Eventually, Peter and Günter then stop seeing each other, to avoid suspicion for when the Strelzyks escape.
Faoi dheireadh, stopann Peter agus Günter a chéile a fheiceáil, chun amhras a sheachaint nuair a éalóidh na Strelzyks.
Peter and his eldest son, Frank, complete the burner and, after extensive testing, manage to inflate the balloon.
Comhlánaíonn Peter agus a mhac is sine, Frank, an dóire agus, tar éis tástála fairsing, éiríonn leo an balún a mhéadú.
On July 3, 1979, the four members of the Strelzyk family attempt to fly out.
Ar 3 Iúil, 1979, déanann an ceathrar ball de theaghlach Strelzyk iarracht eitilt amach.
They successfully take off, though they are spotted by the border guard (who do not know what to make of it); however,
