Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt's not mentioned nor shown in the movie, but the Israelis destroyed several Ugandan MiGs on the ground of Entebbe airport, to keep the aircraft from being used against them, and as part of an agreement with the Kenyan government in exchange for allowing the raid aircraft to refuel in Kenya.
- GoofsIn the film, the Israeli C-130 planes land at Entebbe with full runway lights. In real life, the first plane landed in total darkness, and the commandos used flashlights to guide the other planes.
- Quotes
Shimon Peres: There can be no negotiations with terrorists.
Yitzhak Rabin: You want to invade Uganda, Shimon?

Featured review
Before I watched this I read a lot of reviews both the 1/10s and the 10/10s to see what I would make of it when I had finished watching.
In my opinion it is definitely not a 1/10 movie, but it is also not a 10/10 movie, there are a lot of things that could have been improved, but it did a reasonable job of retelling a rather well know chapter in our history. I have seen the original a few times and this stands up well against it for me.
Nothing came across biased against the Israelis, in fact they were shown in a far better light than they perhaps deserve. If anything I thought the movie biased against the terrorists, even though they were shown from a much more personal view then the original movie.
For me it really showed how much innocent people are used as pawns at the behest of political leaders of all persuasions.
Rosamund Pike and Daniel Brühl did a very good job in thier roles, as I expected them to do, they are top notch actors. Eddie Marsan was also excellent as Shimon Peres. The supporting cast were mostly excellent as well.
