Movie Info

In this adaptation of the John Adams opera based on historical events, several armed Palestine Liberation Organization operatives hijack the Achille Lauro cruise ship and hold its passengers hostage. The ship's captain (Christopher Maltman) unsuccessfully tries to reason with the terrorists; meanwhile, Leon Klinghoffer (Sanford Sylvan), a wheelchair-bound Jewish captive, takes a bolder approach by passionately challenging the ideals of Molqui (Tom Randle), one of the head hijackers.
