A cliffhanger escape that never had a chance to succeed, but it did anyway. Hear the first-hand story of the escape from behind the Iron Curtain that captivated international news with more coverage than any previous escape, dealing the first surprise blow to the invincibility of the Soviet Empire at the height of the Cold War.
The never-before-told story of history’s most spectacular escape – now heading to the big screen, a film based upon the memoirs of the architect of the escape. Freedom Flight by Frank Iszak gives the firsthand description of the ruthless world of tyranny behind the impenetrable Iron Curtain in the era of darkness, when millions of nameless, faceless people who vanished into the Gulags never to return. A story that took place during the Cold War when over half the civilized world was dominated by the tyranny of the ‘Evil Empire,’ Freedom Flight narrates a compelling story of the victory of the desire to be free over the forces of evil. Just how dark can life get to force seven young people – mainly students – to concoct a never before attempted escape plot putting their lives (and lives of their beloveds) on the line of freedom or death? Read Freedom Flight before it hits theaters.

Frank Iszak was a journalist at the apex of the Communist terror in Hungary when his article about the dissolution of a collective farm landed him in a uranium mine for “re-education.” He escaped, but remained a fugitive within the heavily guarded borders of Hungary. In order to escape Hungary, he organized a boxing team and on their way to the regional championship, they diverted their domestic flight across the Iron Curtain. Condemned to death (in absentia), he received political asylum in the West and immigrated to the U.S. He worked as a chemist, publisher, public speaker, private investigator, and martial artist. Today, he teaches yoga in San Diego with his wife, Serpil.
