SEPTEMBER 5th Movie - Official Trailer

Starring Peter Sarsgaard, Ben Chaplin and John Magaro

"September 5" unveils the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today. Set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, the film follows an American Sports broadcasting team that quickly adapted from sports reporting to live coverage of the Israeli athletes taken hostage. Through this lens, "September 5" provides a fresh perspective on the live broadcast seen globally by an estimated one billion people at the time."

One of my earliest media memories. This picture terrified me as a five-year old.

R2 - I'm sure it's explained in the film, but technically, this had never happened before. Security was lax (which was how the terrorist got in) and the Olympic officials had no idea how to handle this.

The documentary One Day in September is a very interesting (if gory) backstory for what exactly happened & why. Even though you know how it ends, Jim McKay's announcement that the hostages were all dead is still so moving

Didn't someone already make this movie? Spielberg?

Yes, it was Munich.

R5/R6 - MUNICH was about how the police and military handled the situation. This is from the network's POV.
