Plot & Details
Spanning over five decades, 'Bride Flight' is inspired by the true story of the 1953 "Last Great Air Race" London-Christchurch (NZ), and follows Esther (Anna Drijver), Ada (Karina Smulders) and Marjorie (Elise Schaap), three young women who, eager to escape post-WWII Holland, emigrate to New Zealand for what they hope will be a better life. On the plane trip overseas -- dubbed the "Bride Flight" -- the three become fast friends and meet Frank, a dashing young man (played by Waldemar Torenstra and Rutger Hauer - in his later years) who will come to play a critical role in each of their lives. They all part ways on arrival in their new country as two of the women's fiances await them -- but their paths continue to cross in the years to come in life-altering ways.
