A moving documentary about the 1976 terrorist hijacking of an Air France flight and Israel’s military rescue raid, as told by Jonathan Khayat, the nephew of one of the hostages who did not survive. The film chronicles the events that unfolded, day-by-day, and uncovers some little-known and shocking back stories while shedding light on the four passengers who did not survive Israel’s rescue. A sensitive and riveting look at those for whom Israel’s most heroic moment was their family’s greatest tragedy.
Reviews
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
