No, it is not about Pitt losing to Youngstown State. It is about the 1972 Munich Games and specifically the Palestinians taking Israeli athletes hostage and killing them. It is centered around ABC's coverage and Roone Arledge, Peter Jennings and Jim McKay. I will be honest, it is maybe the first sports/news event that captured my attention, I was 6 years old, but weird how I have some memories of this.
I love movies like this. I am not a comic book fan or fantasy, so these are the type of movies I gravitate to. I am just wondering if anyone else has seen this, especially some of our older folks. Mike412 being your background I would love to hear your perspective (note, I have none just a curiosity of history) or anyone else. It is weird how I remember that menacing figure of terrorist with a ski cap from the shots of the hotel they were holding the hostages. It has haunted me to this day.
