Munich is a film directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 2005. The movie tells the story of a group of Mossad agents who are assigned to track down and assassinate those responsible for the Munich massacre of 1972, where 11 Israeli athletes were killed during the Olympic Games. The mission is retold from the perspectives of the agents, who come to grapple with the moral and psychological implications of their work. The movie features a host of international cast members, including Eric Bana, Ciarán Hinds, and Geoffrey Rush, and is considered by many to be one of Spielberg's most thoughtful films.
