Neither Rosamund Pike nor Daniel Brühl are strangers to true-life tales on screen. Here, they tackle a complex, painful hijacking story that rocked the world. Check out the first trailer for Entebbe.
The film, known elsewhere as 7 Days In Entebbe, is based on the 1976 true story of four hijackers who took a plane hostage and forced it to land in Entebbe, Uganda, while they demanded the release of dozens of Palestinian terrorists. The thriller follows the hijackers and hostages as well as the political leaders trying to decide whether to negotiate or send an elite special forces unit on a dramatic rescue mission to free the hostages.
Because of course, things weren't quite that simple – with volatile tempers at either end, everything was a hair's breadth away from a bloodbath.
José Padilha is behind the camera for Entebbe, which also features Eddie Marsan and Ben Schnetzer in the cast. The film will be on screens next year.
