Munich 72 is a 2011 German television film directed by Dror Zahavi that re-enacts the hostage drama during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. It was first broadcast on ZDF on March 19, 2012. Munich 1972: The hosting of the Olympics is supposed to show the world a new, different Germany: the spirit of Munich - cosmopolitan, relaxed and free. But then the unthinkable happens: In the early morning hours of September 5, Palestinian terrorists enter the Olympic Village and storm the Israeli team's quarters. Only a short time later, security forces find a dead Israeli. The rest of the team is in the hands of men who apparently have nothing to lose.
The film was planned many years earlier, but Steven Spielberg preempted the project in 2005.
