Thumbs up for this one!, 3 July 1999
Author: anonymous from Texas

This film includes a star runner who goes to Russia and is soon captured and held against his will. He's eventually sent out to the historical Gulag camp where he convinces two other inmates to attempt an escape. One of the guys ends up becomming a 'sandwich', that is, food for the other two during the cross country escape. There's a steamy shower scene about half way through the film where Nance Paul bares all.
