What is 'September 5' about?
"September 5" is a historical thriller about the September 5, 1972 Munich massacre. That day, at 4:31 a.m. local time, eight members of the militant group Black September infiltrated the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany and executed multiple members of the Israeli Olympic team, and took several more hostage.
This movie is partially about that story, but not through the eyes of the terrorists or their victims. Instead, it is told through the eyes of the ABC Sports crew that found themselves suddenly thrust into covering a terrorist attack during the Olympic games. That crew was led by ABC Sports President Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard), ABC Sports Munich control room chief Geoffrey Mason (John Magaro) and ABC Sports Head of Operations Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin).
What makes the premise of this movie so gripping, is that it's not just about the horrific attack, but the ethics of covering such events. On the one hand, journalists have a responsibility to provide their audience with the news as it happens. But when the terrorists suddenly start watching the news to stay ahead of a potential rescue attempt, does that rule still apply? You'll have to watch "September 5" to find out.
