Raid on Entebbe
The boldest rescue in history
Directed by Irvin Kershner
Produced by Edgar J. Scherick Associates, 20th Century Fox Television
A tense, historically grounded thriller about a daring military rescue operation that balances procedural strategy with the human stakes of hostage survival.
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.
