On the dawn of September 5, 1972, a commando of Palestinian terrorists from the Black September organization stormed the Olympic Village in Munich, killing two Israeli athletes immediately and taking nine others hostage, who would meet a similar fate after exhausting negotiations. The film retraces the tragedy, focusing on a television broadcast that forever changed the coverage of such news events.
