Based on a true operation by Israeli commandos. An Air France flight is hijacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The airplane landed in Uganda. The terrorists released some passengers, keeping 94 Jews and 12 air crew hostage. The Israeli government would not negotiate. A rescue plan was devised, and less than 100 commandos were flown across Africa to rescue the passengers in surprisingly successful operation.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut procedural about a high-stakes military rescue operation that traces both the terrorists' demands and the Israeli government's deliberate, calculated response. It's gripping not for explosions but for the pressure cooker of negotiation and strategic planning leading up to the operation.
