Munich

Description

Following the horrific massacre of eleven Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, the Israeli government unleashes a highly classified, retaliatory black-ops mission. Avner Kaufman (Eric Bana), a patriotic young Mossad officer, is chosen to lead a clandestine, five-man hit squad tasked with tracking down and systematically eliminating the eleven Palestinian operatives mastermind behind the tragedy. Cut off from all official ties to his homeland and operating deep in the shadows of Europe, Avner and his specialized team—including a calculating handler (Geoffrey Rush), a fierce driver (Daniel Craig), and a meticulous toy-maker-turned-bomb-maker (Mathieu Kassovitz)—begin executing their targets with ruthless precision. But as the body count rises and the cycle of violence spins out of control, the line between justice and vengeance completely blurs. Trapped in a dangerous web of paranoia, psychological trauma, and lethal counter-attacks, Avner begins to question the true morality and ultimate cost of his mission. Co-starring Ciarán Hinds and Hannibal Mejbri, Munich is an uncompromising, pulse-pounding thriller that stands as one of Spielberg's most provocative and powerful cinematic achievements.
