Peter Sarsgaard and John Magaro star in this thriller co-written and directed by Tim Fehlbaum set during the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. An ABC Sports crew led by Roone Arledge (Sarsgaard), Geoffrey Mason (Magaro) and Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin) are in Germany covering the event, working with local translator Marianne Gebhardt (Leonie Benesch). After hearing gunshots one night, they learn that a terrorist attack is underway and a group of Israeli athletes and coaches have been taken hostage. Mason and Arledge seize the opportunity and begin covering the crisis but Bader fears that his colleagues are forgetting that the lives of the hostages are at stake and could be put at risk through the actions of the crew.
