Did you know
- TriviaIt's not mentioned nor shown in the movie, but the Israelis destroyed several Ugandan MiGs on the ground of Entebbe airport, to keep the aircraft from being used against them, and as part of an agreement with the Kenyan government in exchange for allowing the raid aircraft to refuel in Kenya.
- GoofsIn the film, the Israeli C-130 planes land at Entebbe with full runway lights. In real life, the first plane landed in total darkness, and the commandos used flashlights to guide the other planes.

Featured review
The history doesn't change
I've seen the doco's and original film and indeed was a young 20 year old when this event took place. I must say I'm surprised at so many negative comments. I found this film very human. The hostages were ordinary people in an extraordinary event. The Israeli soldiers, terrorists, Ugandan soldiers were ordinary people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences come together for all different reasons. I do not believe that the film sympathised with the terrorist as some here have said. But I do believe some elements of this film compared to our current times should be a warning against dispassion. I enjoyed this version of the historical event. I enjoyed the mix of idealism, duty and revenge displayed through and resultant from ideology. I also enjoyed the background of the modern theatre even though I'm sure I did not understand all of its nuances. To me it showed the continuance of the normality of life during an event of life changing proportion.
