This is an unmistakable product of 80s from classic pop songs of that era to Cold War backdrop but what it really is is a showcase for two iconic dancers to show off their talent because while dancing is quite amazing, story is a bit unbelievable and thin. You feel producers were thinking how can we develop a story around their dancing? Script quite clunky, too with lines like “You lost” or “Don’t expect a welcome mat, deserter”. It brings back old memories because I only saw ending with my dad at theater since we snuck in to wait for Rocky IV to start. Theme still relevant today since US and Russia relationship remains same today if not worse.

This movie has Non-Stop action. It also has romance, drama, a hint of comedy, and ballet. Gregory Hines not only proves he is an amazing actor he also proves he's a very talented dancer. Mikhail Baryshnikov is beyond amazing in this film. The storyline is fresh and unique. This movie will definitely have you on your toes.

Star-studded Cold-War era drama/thriller. It'd become dated through the decades, but is now eeriely prescient with the arrest of a Russian-American Ballerina charged with treason.

The tone is all over the place and the cuts to song and dance are just odd.

I have always loved this movie - more for the dancing of the two leads than the plot, but I've watched it several times and still remain entranced by it.

I feel the negative reviews of this movie over the years are completely missing the point of the whole movie and are most likely White Men that are narrow minded. The movie has an important message especially now. Gregory Hines speech in the beginning of the movie of why he defected was quite moving and most white Americans would not understand any of what he was taking about. I know many Russians that defected from Russia and they all agree that the movie interpreted there greatest fear. It is a classic and a must see.

Excellent , I've seen it many years ago & I what to see it again, please somebody send me a link of this magnificent movie or indicate a site where I can see, tnx you !

A bit too Hollywood-ized (especially the ending), but good nonetheless. A little more duo-dance performance from Hines & Baryshnikov would have been good too.

The story is well crafted and the dancing is uniquely good.
