21 Hours at Munich is a grim reenactment of the darkest days of the 1972 Munich Olympics. A gang of eight Arab terrorists storm the Israeli dormitory, killing two and taking hostage nine athletes. The terrorist's demands include the release of 200 Arabs held in Israeli jails; Israel follows its standard policy in dealing with terrorism and refuses to capitulate. There can be only one way that this film will end, but the tragedy of the occasion is buoyed by isolated moments of inspirational

...undoubtedly a vast improvement over Spielberg's nigh unwatchable Munich.
I watched 21 Hours to Munich with a careful eye trained for any sort of preachiness or "opinionizing" from either direction, and I was pleased to notice that stuff only by its absence.
Little seen these days, but a gripping true account of the 1972 Olympics massacre. When terrorism hit home for many of us for the first time.

Mediocre retelling of the Munich olympic games tragedy. Acting is less than stellar, except for William Holden. The story is compelling and tense, but could have been filmed more effectively. Overall, however, it is worth watching. Maybe.
