In response to the assassination of the Israeli Olympics team in Munich in 1972, men are sent out to avenge the murders. Along the way they learn and grow but not in any way they might have ever expected. Spielberg may finally have his masterpiece.

High praise for the latest adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved classic.
