Based on the true story of the 1985 hijacking of an Italian cruise ship, and murder of a wheelchair bound American who was shot and dumped into the ocean.
By far, one of the best directed and well-acted dramas I have ever seen. All of the actors, including supporting actors, were superb. One of the most gripping and dramatic scenes is when President Reagan orders U.S. fighter jets to force the Egyptian Airliner carrying the terrorist to land at an Italian military air base. As the airliner touches down, Italian authorities are seen responding to intercept the plane. As the Italian military and Carabiniere converge and surround the plane, a U.S. C-130 lands carrying a huge contingent of US Navy Seals and Delta Force. What happens next is for the annals of history! Very worth while to see!
