| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Michael Medved Reviews, September 5. |
| 0:27.8 | The IMDB synopsis for this film during the 1972 Munich Olympics and American sports broadcasting crew finds itself thrust into covering the hostage crisis |
| 0:32.7 | involving Israeli athletes. |
| 0:35.7 | Michael, this real-world incident, this terrorist incident in 1972, |
| 0:41.3 | happened 10 years before I was born, have to admit, |
