This is the true story of an Air France airliner hijacked by Palestinian and German terrorists in 1976 and the daring rescue of 105 Israeli hostages taken to Uganda. The IDF in a matter of hours planned and then executed a near-perfect rescue thousands of miles from home, losing only 4 hostages and two soldiers. was . In a short time, they opened communications with the terrorists and plotted a raid to secure the hostage`s release. This is an inspirational story of Rabin, Peres and Netanyahu and how they battled the dark forces of Amin and the PFLP terrorists. This is the only account `approved` by the Israeli government.

More than a hundred passengers of a skyjacked Air France jetline were held hostage at Uganda`s Entebbe airport. They were forced to endure a nightmare week of agony in Old Terminal building, as terrorists bargained for their lives. Just hours before the final deadline a squad of Israeli commandoes launched Operation Thunderball. Without warning they blasted their way into the terminal and airlifted 105 hostages to freedom. This is the full, minute-by-minute, fact-by-fact story of the incredible intelligence operations that led to the mission--from the passengers who survived seven days of horror to the heroic men who carried out the spectacular 53-minute strike against international terrorism.
