What is White Nights about? Toggle content

White Nights tells the story of Nikolai Rodchenko (Mikhail Baryshnikov), a Russian ballet dancer who defected to the West, and Raymond Greenwood (Gregory Hines), an American tap dancer who defected to the Soviet Union. When Nikolai's plane crashes in Siberia, he is forced to return to Russia, where he meets Raymond and they become unlikely friends. Together, they plan an escape to the United States with the help of Galina Ivanova (Helen Mirren), a former ballerina and Nikolai's old flame. However, their plan is complicated when Raymond chooses to stay behind to delay the KGB officer, Colonel Chaiko (Jerzy Skolimowski), allowing Nikolai and Darya (Isabella Rossellini) to escape to the consulate. The movie explores themes of artistic expression, political idealism, and personal freedom, as two dancers from different worlds come together and risk everything to pursue their dreams. With stunning dance performances and a gripping storyline, White Nights is an unforgettable experience.
