| User ReviewBoris MAn amazing story of how God provided for his chosen people one more time. The film is based on event that happened in 1970s, when a french airplane was hijacked and over 100 Israelies were held hostage on Entebbe airport in Uganda. |
| User Reviewgary twow what a movie 2 watch...i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch...its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie...i think that charles bronson, peter finch, sylvia sidney, yaphet kotto play good roles/parts throughout this movie...i think that the director of this drama/real-life/true-story movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect thorughout this movie....i think that this is a really powerful drama movie 2 watch its a really sad movie 2 watch with a good cast throughout this movie....this is a good drama movie 2 watch but a sad movie as well |
| User ReviewAaron CI tear up everytime the C-130 rolls out on the tarmac and the hostages are reunited with their families. The background music of "Hine Ma Tov" is so fitting for this movie. Too bad Yonatan Netanyahu was killed in the raid though. He was a true hero, and I have been privileged to pay respects to his grave in Jerusalem. The movie isn't perfect, but I still give it 5 stars as it is an inspirational true story that demonstrates our Chutzpah. Plus I'm a big enough Zionist that I can overlook other flaws. |
