Ballerino classico russo, fuggito in Occidente, è costretto da un incidente aereo ad atterrare in URSS dove incontra un danzatore americano nero di tip-tap, fuoriuscito per ragioni politiche e razziali. Melodramma di propaganda antisovietica, rallegrato dalla presenza del regista esule polacco J. Skolimowski nella parte di un bieco colonnello del KGB. Gli assolo e i duetti di M. Baryšnikov e G. Hines sono godibili.
