Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Disney triumphs with Ken Cameron's 1998 World War II TV movie based on true events that will grip viewers from the first moment to the last. Set in September, 1945, (five years after the German occupation of Denmark began) word gets out that the Nazis will begin arresting Danish Jews, which ignites a citizens resistance movement. Dr. Koster (Sam Waterston) and his wife Doris (Mia Farrow) find themselves in the middle of the chaos and must choose between ignoring the Jewish plight or helping their neighbors. They choose the latter, risking their lives to hide Rabbi Abrams and his family. Soon, the Kosters are front-runners in a clandestine operation to transport over 7,000 Jews to neutral Sweden, while averting Nazi arrest. Waterston and Farrow are brilliant in roles both convincing and complex. Also noteworthy are Justin Whalin and Nicola Mycroft, who play the coming-of-age Koster children, Henry and Elsa. The story is equally theirs as they develop personal convictions to take a stand against Nazi atrocities. In many ways, the film is a sanitized version of wartime events (there are hints, but no footage of concentration camps), yet caution is advised when considering it as a family film. Gunfire, suicide, imprisonment, and death may be disturbing to children under age 10. For all other audiences, it is a must-see movie, a poignant drama of courage and inspiration in the face of persecution, demonstrating that, as Dr. Koster narrates, "In every language and religion, to be humane is to love your neighbor." --Lynn Gibson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fabulous movieThis is an excellent movie in it's own right, and I especially appreciate the content which shows the heroic efforts of the Danish people to save the Jewish people of their homeland. It is an exciting story presented in such a careful way that parents could allow children to see it without fear. Our whole family enjoyed it. Rating: - MIRACLE AT MIDNIGHTTHIS IS A GREAT MOVIE FOR CHILDREN TO SEE ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST, NOT SCARY OR GRAPHIC. IT SHOWS HOW PEOPLE CAN COME TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND SAVE LIVES. MY FAMILY REALLY ENJOYED IT. THE CAST IS ALSO VERY GOOD. Rating: - I too watched this movie and just had to have it for my dvd collection. It is wonderfully made and tells the story in a good light. Rating: - Miracle at Midnight is a WONDERFUL Movie! A MUST-SEE!!I watched this outstanding Disney made-for-tv movie many, many times, and I LOVE it!! I first saw when it premiered on TV on the "Wonderful World of Disney" show in the spring of 1998. At that time I taped it on a VHS tape off of TV, and I loved it so much that I watched it over and over many, many times. I should have broken the security tab on the tape, but because there were still several hours of free space left on the tape (it was taped in EP/SLP mode) I thought ...

The son (Henrik) is in the resistance and keeps it a secret from his family, sure they would forbid him to continue because of the danger. The father, a doctor, decides he must do what he can to help the Jews when he hears of the news of the Germans coming to route out and kill Jews. He hides a family (friends of theirs) in the attic. There are many tense and action-packed scenes. The acting is great. Read More Browse for similar items by category:
