Munich Movie
A powerful and thoughtful chronicle drama by Steven Spielberg rises up the questions of the human costs of international terrorism. The 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany, were supposed to be a peaceful gathering of outstanding athletes from around the world, but on September 5, the games took a sinister turn when eight masked Palestinian terrorists invaded the Olympic village, killing two Israeli athletes and abducting nine others. The story follows a secret Israeli squad assigned to track down and kill the 11 Palestinians suspected to have planned the Munich attack. Eric Bana stars as a Mossad agent tracking the Palestinian terrorist group called "Black September" which were ultimately responsible for the deaths of Israelis during the tragedy.
