I was honored to see this excellent film at the AFI Film Festival

Scenario

During the 1972 Munich Olympics, an American sports broadcasting crew is forced to cover a hostage crisis involving Israeli athletes. The film is set in the ABC control room of the 1972 Munich Olympics.

The film also accurately portrays what was considered cutting-edge technology at the time, but seems hilariously primitive today (eg

It realistically depicts the routine aspects of operating the control room during an event, and then, of course, the tragic event of the Black September attacks on Israeli athletes. The control room is inhabited by ABC Sports President Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard), budding producer Geoffrey Mason (John Magaro), VP of Olympic coverage Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin), and German interpreter Marianne Gebhardt (Leonie Benesch), all of whom are excellent in their roles.

But the most important aspect of any thriller is Tim Fehlbaum’s writing and direction, which keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the film. The realism is enhanced by the use of archival footage of Jim McKay reporting on the tragedy.

But this quibble certainly doesn’t stop me from highly recommending this excellent film – it’s a must-see!

My only minor complaint is the casting of Benjamin Walker as Peter Jennings – he doesn’t seem quite right to play the handsome and elegant anchor I remember (I probably would have cut his character and just relied on the footage of Jennings talking from the Olympic Village).
