On June 27, 1976, four men hijacked an Air France flight from Tel Aviv to Paris. The hijackers were two members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and two Germans from the left-wing extremist group Revolutionary Cells. They held hundreds of hostages, mainly Israelis, for a week. Their main demand was the release of 40 imprisoned Palestinian terrorists and militants. This film reconstructs what happened after the plane landed in Entebbe, where the hijackers received support from Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. It gives its own version of the hijacking, based on new research, especially about the release of the non-Jewish hostages. It also details how the Israeli government ended the hostage situation with the force of its security commandos.
