In July 1976, an Air France flight from Tel-Aviv to Paris via Athens was hijacked and forced to land in Entebbe, Uganda. The Jewish passengers were separated and held hostage in demand to release many terrorists held in Israeli prisons. After much debate, the Israeli government sent an elite commando unit to raid the airfield and release the hostages.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut procedural following the planning and execution of a daring hostage rescue, balancing bureaucratic debate with visceral action to capture both the stakes and the ingenuity required to pull off the impossible.
