Munich Movie Synopsis

Set in the aftermath of the 1972 massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, Munich recounts the dramatic story of the secret Israeli squad assigned to track down and assassinate 11 Palestinians believed to have planned the 1972 Munich massacre -- and the personal toll this mission of revenge takes on the team and the man who led it. Eric Bana stars as the Mossad agent charged with leading the band of specialists brought together for this operation.

Inspired by actual events, the narrative is based on a number of sources, including the recollections of some who participated in the events themselves.

Really Well Done

i thought it was a good movie...good performances by all. but just like others, the movie does drag along, and it`s politically confusing, while i didn`t know anything about the event, i was somehow able to follow the story. bloody and gory, but not extreme, just the right amount to get the danger across. overall good, but could`ve been tighter on the running time and still would`ve gotten the same information across. 3.5/5

ITS BEEN A NICE MOVIE I LOVE IT I WISH IT COULD HAVE GIVEN AN AWARD
