An all-star cast in a made-for-TV movie that aired within five months of the actual July 4, 1976, incident in which the PLO hijacked an Air France flight with a number of Israeli and Jewish passengers aboard. Israeli leaders Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Perez go into action to put a military rescue team together while the plane sits on the tarmac at the Entebbe airport in Uganda, which is under the control of bombastic dictator Idi Amin.
