A 25th anniversary special edition, this is a set of two wonderful movies of the Entebbe Operation:
Operation Thunderbolt - The original Israeli movie that became a legend in the Israeli cinema, reconstructing the hijacking of Air France passengers to Uganda and their amazing rescue by the Israeli Army.
Operation Entebbe, also known as the Entebbe incident, was a rescue mission performed by Sayeret Matkal (the Israeli elite special forces) to free hostages at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. It took place on the night of July 3 and early morning of July 4, 1976. It was called Operation Thunderbolt (or Operation Thunderball) by the Israeli military operatives who planned and carried it out.
