Hi,

I am looking for the title of two movies probably from the 80's. The first has to do with some military children whose fathers get captured. I am not thinking of Iron Eagle but this has several children. Near the beginning I remember a red convertible going into the river. At the end after they have rescued their fathers and are on a plane (or a boat?) they stick one of the kids up through a hatch. He has on an American flag shirt.

The other is a continuation of the movie Heidi. All I can remember about this one is Heidi is older and a cave that they take refuge in during a winter storm.

I would appreciate any information, thank you.

I believe the rescue movie is The Rescue (1988) - Plot summary (http://www.imdb.com/Plot?0095981) (The Rescue, 1988)

I searched the IMBd and was unable to find anything about the other movie. Do you have any other info ?

There were 2 books written as sequels to Heidi - but by a different author. The first was Heidi Grows Up and the second was Heidi's Children. I don't know if either of these were turned into movies, but maybe this is what you are thinking of.
