September 5th plays at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, in which the ABC Sports Broadcasting team has to change quickly from sports reporting to live reporting on the Israeli athletes that were taken hostage by terrorists. The film is based on the real Munich massacre, in which eight members of the Palestinian militant militant group Black September infiltrated the Olympic village, killed two members of the Israeli Olympic team and took nine other Israeli athletes hostage. The nine were later killed by terrorists during an unsuccessful rescue attempt.

The film was freshly won for Rotten tomatoes with a 93% critic and a verified, 90% popcorn meter evaluation and won screenwriters Moritz Binder, Tim Fehbaum and Alex David, a best original script -Oscar nomination.

At the center of history is Geoff (John Magaro), a young and ambitious producer who wants to prove to his boss, the legendary TV manager Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard). Together with the German interpreter Marianne (Leonie Benesch) and his mentor Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin), the story focuses on the complicated details of the high-tech transmission functions of the time, which are compared with the many lives and moral decisions that are necessary , and the moral decisions that are required are made for an impossible ticking clock.

Directed by the Swiss filmmaker Tim Fehsbaum, September 5th, Zinedine Soualem, Georgina Rich, Corey Johnson, Marcus Rutherford, Daniel Adeosun, Benjamin Walker and Ferdinand Dörfler also plays.
