Member Rating:  
21 Hours at Munich is a grim reenactment of the darkest days of the 1972 Munich Olympics. A gang of eight Arab terrorists storm the Israeli dormitory, killing two and taking hostage nine athletes. The terrorist's demands include the release of 200 Arabs held in Israeli jails; Israel follows its standard policy in dealing with terrorism and refuses to capitulate. There can be only one way that this film will end, but the tragedy of the occasion is buoyed by isolated moments of inspirational heroism. William Holden and Franco Nero head the cast, while sportscaster Jim McKay, whose emotional coverage of the actual events has since become famous, narrates the film. 21 Hours at Munich first aired on November 7, 1976. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    This movie recounts the events that happened at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. The reenactments were gripping at times while others seemed to be a little less realistic.

    This docudrama gives a fairly realistic account of what transpired that awful day at the 1972 olympiad. the only outpoint was portraying the chief of police as William Holden..he hardly fit the part; the rest of the cast was believable..terrorism then was no worse than it is today.. a good movie that really holds your attention! 3 stars!
