About Victory at Entebbe
The film is based on an actual event: Operation Entebbe and the freeing of Israeli hostages at Entebbe Airport (now Entebbe International Airport) in Uganda.
Directed by Marvin J. Chomsky, Victory at Entebbe leans on a strong ensemble — Helmut Berger, Theodore Bikel, Linda Blair — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1976.
