Summary

This radical new documentary uncovers the logistics behind the Entebbe hostage rescue operation of June 1976 when Air France Flight 139 was hijacked by Palestinian and German terrorists and flown to Uganda. With gripping re-enactments and exclusive first-person accounts from commandos, strategists and covert intelligence gatherers, the film goes inside the assault staging areas and deadly firefights that made the seemingly impossible happen.
