"Freedom Fighter (1988)" is a made-for-TV movie directed by Desmond Davis. It stars Tony Danza as a U.S. soldier in 1961 who witnesses the construction of the Berlin Wall and subsequently helps a group of East Germans escape to the West. The film also features performances from Neil Dickson, Geraldine James, David McCallum, and Sid Caesar.
The movie has a mixed reception, with some reviewers criticizing its acting and one-sided portrayal of East Germans, while others appreciate its attempt to capture the atmosphere of the Cold War and the drama of escape attempts. One user review from IMDb suggests that despite Tony Danza's casting which might deter serious viewers, the film offers unique and well-executed escape scenarios, including one based on an actual event. An American G.I. based in Berlin in August 1961, witnesses the building of the Berlin Wall and risks his life to help East Germans escape to the West in the hopes of being reunited with the woman he loves.
