The plane lands in Entebbe, Uganda, where President-for-life Idi Amin (Yaphet Kotto) struts about feigning concern, though his sympathy toward the hijackers is obvious.

If this bit of history interests you then you will enjoy this. It's accurate, although Netanyahu died at the beginning of the raid. It could do with some editing. This could have been an hour long movie and been much better. Interesting subject, presented accurately, but only a fair movie.

Super Reviewer

A well-made drama. Yes, It was a movie made for the television. But It is a great movie about the histori raid by Israeli commandos to recues Israeli Hosages. Which should not be forgot. Charles Bronson was very good in this movie.
