Entebbe

Shortly after Air France flight 139 departs Tel Aviv carrying predominantly Israeli and Jewish passengers, German revolutionaries Wilfried Bose and Brigitte Kuhlmann and their accomplices retrieve guns from hand luggage and storm the cockpit. Eventually, exhausted passengers touch down in Uganda. Yitzhak Rabin and the rest of the Israeli cabinet, including minister of defence Shimon Peres, are faced with a ransom demand: the lives of the passengers in exchange for the release of prisoners.
