Terrorism comes in many forms, but almost always it is justified by the terrorists as a continuation of war by other means, the weak fighting asymmetrically against the strong.

The barrier to entry is low, however, so that terrorist actors often have goals far more

confused than the terrorist acts themselves.

Such is the case of the events portrayed in today's film,

which recounts the true story of the 1976 hijacking

and dramatic rescue at Enteba.

A motley crew of Germans and Palestinians commandeer an Air France flight from Tel Aviv to Paris,

rerouting it to Uganda, and leverage their captives in order to demand the immediate release of 52 imprisoned Palestinian militants.

But Israel has a policy of not negotiating with terrorists, and Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin,

and Minister of Defense Chamon Perez clash over their response, particularly after the terrorists separate the Jewish passengers from the others.

As the days ticked by, a bold military plan is hatched to send commandos to raid the airport

facility where the hostages are kept.

But it's unclear if the hostages will survive,

either their time in captivity, or the aggressive plan to save them.

No matter the outcome, it's a plan with consequences that will ripple decades into the future.
