Steven Spielberg dramatizes the covert Israeli response to the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, following a Mossad-recruited team, led by Eric Bana, sent to assassinate the Palestinian militants behind the killings across Europe. Rather than a straightforward revenge thriller, the film increasingly interrogates the moral cost and psychological toll of state-sanctioned killing on the men carrying it out. Nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, it stands as one of Spielberg's most morally complex and politically fraught films.
