During the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, eleven Israeli athletes are taken hostage and murdered by a Palestinian terrorist group known as Black September. In retaliation, the Israeli government recruits a group of Mossad agents to track down and execute those responsible for the attack.Update: April 25, 2006
«©NCSX» As the film opens, four Americans confront a group of eight Palestinians outside a fence to the Olympiastadion Mϋnchen and ask "What's your event?" as well as "Where are you guys from?" before one says to another, "They don't speak English, man." Without receiving any audible replies, the Americans help boost the contingent over the fence and into the venue. Once everyone is on the other side, the two groups part ways and the terrorists disappear into the recesses of a building. Once inside, the Palestinians quickly remove firearms from their duffel bags, gather together in a circle of encouragement, and mobilize. They locate and then push into a hotel room containing a group of Israeli athletes. Afterwards, the hostage crisis is viewed by various contingents around the world on rickety televisions... the kind that had knobs and no remote.
